TO  THE  POSTERITY  OF  JOHN  UPHAM. 


^ 


I 


This  genealogy  has  as  its  foundation  the  little  book  published 
in  1845  by  Dr.  Albert  G.  Uphana,  entitled  "Notices  of  John 
Upham  and  his  Descendants  ; "  and  an  incomplete,  but  very  im- 
portant Upham  genealogy,  showing  many  of  the  earlier  genera- 
tions in  New  England,  collected  by  the  well-known  genealogist 
Thomas  B.  Wyman,  a  portion  of  which  was  printed  in  the  ^ew 
England  Genealogical  and  Historic  Register,  vol.  35,  to  which  he 
had  added  notes  as  matter  came  to  his  knowledge,  prior  to  his 
death  some  years  ago.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  give 
particular  credit  to  either  of  these  pioneers  in  Upham  genealogy 
for  the  reason  that  the  entire  work  of  each  —  omitting  errors 
which  have  since  been  discovered  —  has  been  transferred  to  the 
pages  of  this  book.  Without  the  foundation  afforded  by  the 
pains-taking  labors  of  .Dr.  Upham  and  Mr.  Wyman,  this  genealogy 
could  not  have  been  prepared. 

I  wish  also  to  acknowledge  that  without  the  continued  assist- 
ance and  encouragement  given  me  in  collecting  material,  by  Mr. 
Henry  P.  Upham  of  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  and  the  Rev.  Dr.  James  Upham 
of  Chelsea,  Mass.,  my  labor  would  have  ceased,  and  the  present 
end  would  not  have  been  accomplished.  So  valuable  has  been 
the  aid  received  from  these  gentlemen,  I  feel  that  while  my  name 
alone  appears  on  the  title  page,  they  should  share  in  any  credit 
that  may  be  thought  to  be  due  on  account  of  its  preparation. 
The  numerous  others  who  have  so  kindly  furnished  records  of 
particular  branches,  it  is  hoped,  may  find  compensation  with  the 
re-appearance  of  their  work  in  the  pages  which  follow,  and  which 
are  the  result  of  a  more  or  less  connected  effort,  extending  over 
the  past  seventeen  years. 


Ufham  Genealogy. 


While  care  has  been  taken  with  a  view  to  accuracy,  the  work 
goes  to  the  publisher  with  a  fore-knowledge  that  numerous  errors 
must  be  discovered  with  the  appearance  of  the  book.  My  hope 
is,  that  among  the  Uphams  who  will  follow  so  rapidly  in  the 
march  of  the  generations,  there  may  be  some  one  who  will  be 
sufficiently  interested  to  revise  and  correct  it,  and  that  a  more 
complete  genealogy  of  the  posterity  may  be  thus  finally  obtained. 

It  may  seem  remarkable  that  so  many,  apparently  unimportant 
and  almost  trivial  facts,  matters  and  incidents  have  been  re- 
corded with  the  personal  notices  of  individuals.  It  is  believed, 
however,  that  these  are  of  more  significance  than  they  will,  at  first 
thought,  seem,  inasmuch  as  the  actions,  habits  of  life,  movements 
and  expressions  of  individuals  disclose  indications  of  character, 
and  from  the  knowledge  of  the  character  of  an  ancestor  much 
that  influences  one's  heredity  may  be  deduced.  Probably  from  a 
mistaken  sense  of  the  fitness  of  things,  and  modesty,  many  are 
prone  to  withhold  information  of  this  nature  concerning  them- 
selves or  their  immediate  ancestors  —  possibly  with  some  feeling 
that  they  are  too  obscure  to  be  of  interf'st ;  and  this  kind  of  in- 
formation has  been  exceedingly  hard  to  obtain.  They  do  not 
consider  the  possible  interest  with  which  every  thing  pertaining 
to  their  own  lives  and  times  may  be  regarded  by  their  descend- 
ants. More  of  this  information  would  leave  less  ground  for  the 
frequent  comment  that  genealogy  is  "  only  a  string  of  names  and 
dates."  ' 

The  Uphams  have  not  as  a  rule  been  conspicuous  people  in  the 
generations  which  have  gone,  yet  some  have  risen  to  eminence, 
and  all  seem  to  have  been  respectable  members  of  the  communi- 
ties in  which  they  lived.  The  life  and  conditions  of  the  genera- 
tions before  the  Revolution  were  identical  with  that  of  nearly  all 
New  England  families  of  that  period  in  the  history  of  this  country. 

"  Let  not  Ambition  mock  tlieir  useful  toil. 
Their  homely  joys  and  destiny  obscure." 

It  was  the  preparation  of  a  sturdy  race  for  better  (?)  things, 
and  the  indications  are  that  those  who  now  represent  it,  and  are

coming,  have  not  been,  and  will  not  be  found  unprepared  to  meet 
the  new  conditions. 

Our  common  ancestor,  John  Upham,  was  evidently  a  strong 
man  in  his  day  and  generation,  and  we  have  reason  to  believe 
that  the  qualities  which  he  transmitted  were  good.  It  is  now 
more  than  two  hundred  and  ten  years  since  he  died,  and  the 
simple  stone  erected  at  that  time  still  marks  the  spot  where  he 
was  buried,  the  letters  worn  with  age  and  the  weather  of  over 
two  centuries.  His  descendants  are  numerous,  and  generally 
prosperous.  Will  not  some  of  these  initiate  a  movement  toward 
the  erection  of  a  suitable  monument  to  his  memory,  and  secure 
the  ground  before  it  is  yet  too  late  ?

UP-HAM  *  OR,  THE  HOME  ON  THE  HILL. 


These  verses,  speculating  on  the  origin  of  the  name  of  Upham, 
were  composed,  and  set  to  music,  by  Judge  Nathaniel  G.  Upham, 
of  Concord,  New  Hampshire  (No.  287):  ,. 

U  p  high,  on  an  oak-crowned  hill  ■ 

P  repared  with  sedulous  care, 

H  is  home,  in  the  olden  time, 

A  n  old  man  erected  there. 

M  any  a  year  have  I  known  his  name, 

E  ach  passer-by  calls  it  Up-hame,  Up-hamel 

*■  ''■ 
Up-hame,  Up-ham!  Up-hame,  Up-homel 

However  you  call  it,  wherever  you  roam, 

The  sons  of  the  old  man,  remember  it  still, 

The  name,  how  it  came,  from  the  home  on  the  hill. 

Up-hame,  Up-ham!  Up-hame,  Up-homel 

They'll  never  forget  it,  wherever  they  roam. 

'Upham  i«  composed  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  words, "  Up  "  and  "  ham,"  signifying  a  home, 
dwelling,  or  yVAaf^e.—Bosworth's  Dictionary  of  tht  A  nglo-Saxon  Languagi,  Ray't  Prev 
orbs  and  Ottoltt*  ffordt.  In  the  age  of  Elizabeth  the  name  was  written  with  a  final  a, 
soon  afterward  this  letter  was  dropped,  and  the  name  assumed  Its  original  form.— (N.  G.  U.)

THE  NAME  IN  ENGLAND. 

'  .*■ 

f: 

Very  little  of  value  has  yet  been  !earned  concerning  this  in- 
teresting matter,  though  it  is  believed  there  is  considerable  which 
might  be.     Dr.  Upham  —  in  the  "  Notices  "  —  said : 

"  During  a  brief  sojourn  in  England,  in  1844, 1  became  satisfied 
that,  with  sufficient  leisure  for  the  purpose,  much  information 
might  be  obtained  in  relation  to  this  point,  especially  by  examining 
the  documents  deposited  in  the  Prerogative  Office.  But  an  ab- 
sence of  nearly  two  years  on  the  continent  rendered  it  necessary 
for  me  to  curtail  my  visit  to  that  country,  and  thus  prevented  me 
from  instituting  the  requisite  inquiries." 

The  following  notes  in  this  connection  are,  however,  contained 
in  the  pages  of  this  book:  "There  is  a  period,  comparatively  late 
in  hisiory,  previous  to  which  it  would  be  futile  to  seek  for  the 
origin  of  the  surnames  of  Saxon  or  Norman  families.  Du  Chesne 
observes,  that  *  surnames  were  unknown  in  France  before  987,  when 
the  lords  began  to  assume  the  names  of  their  demesnes. '  Camden 
relates, '  that  they  were  first  taken  up  in  England  a  little  before  the 
Norman  conquest,  under  King  Edward  the  Confessor'  (1060); 
but,  he  adds,  '  they  were  never  fully  established  among  the  com- 
mon people  till  the  time  of  Edward  II.*  (1307  to  1377). 

"  The  first  mention  of  Upham  as  a  surname,  which  I  have  found, 
occurs  early  m  this  period.  It  is  met  with  in  a  deed  of  lands  to  the 
church  of  Saint  Maria  de  Bradenstock,  which,  according  to  Cam- 
den, was  a  small  monastery  in  Wilts,  founded  by  Walter,  son  of 
Edmond  of  Salisbury;  and  we  are  informed  by  the  Index,  that 
Bradenstock  is  in  the  hundred  of  Kinwarston,  lat.  51°  23' ;  long. 
I "  39'  W.  It  is  recorded  in  the  Rotuli  Chartarum,  in  Turr.  Lond., 
vol.  I,  part  I,  fol.   170,  An.  9,  John,  1208.     'The  Charter  Rolls 


t  Upham  Genealooy. 

are  the  contemporaneous  regi^fcis  of  royal  grants  of  lands,  honon, 
dignities,  hereditary  offices,  liberties,  and  other  estates  of  inherit- 
ance to  the  nobility  and  commonalty,  and  of  lands,  liberties,  privi- 
leges, immunities,  and  other  estates  in  mortmain  to  ecclesiastical, 
eleemosynary  and  lay  corporations.'  This  reads  as  follows: '  ex  d. 
Hug/  de  Uphft  ij  acr'  tre'  I  campis  de  Uphft.'  (The  mark  — 
when  used  by  the  abbreviators  of  these  chronicles,  always  indicates 
the  omission  of  an  m  or  n.)  This  document  bea'-s  the  date  of 
1208.  The  perusal  of  the  sentence,  by  gift  of  Hugo  de  Upham  ij 
acres  of  land  in  the  campis  de  Upham  (the  Upham  fields,  or 
estate),  impresses  us  with  a  distinct  idea  that  the  name  and  family 
of  the  grantor  were  of  some  antiquity,  and  justify  the  supposition 
that  Hugo,  or  his  father,  might  have  held  the  lands  Upham,  and 
have  borne  the  surname  de  Upham,  for  at  least  sixty  or  seventy 
years  —  the  common  life-time  of  man.  In  this  case  the  surname 
is  shown  to  have  existed  within  about  eighty  years  of  the  extreme 
date  assigned  by  Camden  as  the  period  when  the  English  nobles 
began  gradually  to  assume  family  names,  from  their  estates;  at  the 
same  time  it  is  shown  to  exist  on  record  near  two  hundred  years 
before  the  time  these  names  became  common.  The  conclusions, 
from  these  facts,  in  relation  to  Hugo  de  Upham  and  his  family, 
are  too  evident  to  be  noticed. 

"  Forty  or  fifty  years  subsequent  to  the  date  of  this  entry  on  the 
charter  rolls,  we  find  from  the  Hundred  Rolls,  Temp.  Henry  HI. 
and  Edward  I.,  vol.  a,  p.  240  (these  rolls  contain  inquisitions 
taken  in  pursuance  to  a  special  commission,  issued  under  the 
Great  Seal.  This  inquisition  was  taken  by  jurors  chosen  from 
each  hundred,  and  consisted  of  returns  made  under  oath  of  all 
the  demesne  lands  of  the  crown,  manors  of  the  same,  wardships, 
marriages,  escheats,  etc.),  that  another  person,  holding  the  office 
of  juror  in  Selkley  Hundred,  bore  this  surname :  *  Hundr*  de 
Selkel'  Nich'  de  Upham  jur'  Com'  Wyltes,  Ano.  39,  Hen.  III.,' 
[1255].  Soon  afterward  we  find  in  the  Fine  Rolls  (in  Turr. 
Londenensis  asservatis  Henrico  Tertio  Rege.,  vol.  2,  pp.  375-1246- 
1372.  Memb.  9.  Henry  III.,  A.  D.  1262,  commenced  in  the  sixth 
year  of  King  John,  1204,  and  finished  under  Edward  IV.,  1483. 


t' 


Upham  Gcnkalooy. 


The  rolls  comprise  a  great  variety  of  matter  relating  to  deaths, 
succession  of  heirs,  descent,  division  of  property,  custody  of  lands, 
and  heirs  during  minority,  liveries,  marriages  of  heiresses  and 
widows,  assignments  of  dower,  for  forfeitures  and  pardons,  aids 
and  tallages,  affairs  of  Jews,  etc.),  notice  of  several  persons  who 
bore  the  same  name :  '  Wilts.  Hugo  de  Doveral,  t,  Letitia  ux.  ej. 
Alio.  de.  Upham.  Joh'a,  t,  Agnes  fil.  Hug.  de  Upham  dSt  dimid. 
marc.  p.  una  as.  Cap.  coram,  m.  de  Littlebir,'  (that  is,  Hugo  de 
Doveral  —  et  Letitia  uxor  ejus,  Alicia  de  Upham,  Johanna,  et 
Agnesia,  filise  Hugonis  de  Upham,  dant  dimidum  marc,  por  una 
assisa.  capta  coram.  M.  de  Littlebir  Wilts).  The  date  this  entry 
bears  is  1263.  Before  leaving  this  part  of  our  subject,  we  may 
remark  that  as  Hugo  de  Upham,  of  Kinwarston  Hundred,  Hugo, 
the  father  of  Joanna  and  Alice,  and  Nicholas,  the  juror  of  Selkley, 
were  all  of  the  same  county  (Wilts);  and  that  Kinw  >  jton  and 
Selkley  Hundreds  were  contiguous,  it  is  highly  probable  that  all 
these  persons  were  nearly  related.  The  name  still  exists  in  Selk- 
ley Hundred  as  a  local  name  (viz.  the  tithings  of  Upper  and 
Lower  Upham),  in  the  parish  of  Aldbourne. 

"  We  have  shown,  then,  by  the  evidence  of  the  records,  that 
Upham  was  a  surname  already  in  1208;  and  we  have  expressed 
the  opinion  that  the  same  record  would,  by  implication,  refer  this 
use  of  the  word  to  a  period  prior  at  least  to  1140.  The  latter 
date  brings  us  very  near  to  the  time  when  the  surname,  if  of 
Saxon  origin,  must  have  been  first  assumed.  Arrived  at  this 
point,  the  mind  naturally  seeks  for  the  reasons  that  induced  the 
bearer  to  take  this  particular  name  as  a  family  designation.  In 
general,  at  the  period  when  family  names  first  began  to  be  used, 
they  were  derived  either  from  the  profession,  or  some  personal 
peculiarities  of  the  individuals  bearing  them,  or  from  his  place  of 
residence,  or  landed,  estates.  In  the  latter  case  it  was  invariably 
indicated  by  the  use  of  either  the  Latin  or  English  particles  de,  or 
of,  as  Philip  de  Bourbon,  John  of  Lancaster,  etc.  We  shall  en- 
deavor to  show  that  the  latter  was  the  fact  with  regard  to  the  sur- 
name Upham ;  that  it  was  first  given  to  the  family  of  that  name, 
because  they  were  possessors  of  land,  so  called*

"  Hugo,  the  first  of  this  name  of  whom  I  have  found  any  notice, 
is  designated  Hugo  de  Upham,  Hugo  of  Upham.  Now  the  '  de  * 
not  only  indicates  that  he  derived  his  name  from  his  estate,  but 
the  lands  belonging  to  him  are  expressly  referred  to  in  the  same 
document,  as  beariqg  the  name  Upham :  '  Campis  de  Upham ' 
(Upham  fields).  We  conclude,  then,  that  Hugo,  and  his  ances- 
tors holding  possession  of  and  residing  on  the  lands  known  by  the 
name  Upham,  received  the  names  of  Hugo,  etc.,  de  Upham. 
This  is  also  confirmed  by  the  fact,  that  Upham,  as  the  name  of  a 
place,  occurs  in  records  previous  to  the  introduction  of  surnames. 

"  We  have  then,  in  a  more  or  less  satisfactory  manner,  indicated 
the  time  and  cause  of  the  assumption  of  this  surname.  We  shall 
now  merely  allude  to  the  fact  that  the  '  de '  was  omitted  at  an 
early  period,  and  the  name  received  its  present  form.  This 
change  took  place  previous  to  1445,  as  appears  from  its  form  in 
the  following  extract  from  the  inquisitions,  '  ad  quod  Damnum.' 
(Calendarum  Rotularum  Chartarum  et  inquisitionum  ad  quod 
Damnum,  A.  19-23,  Henry  VI.,  No.  93,  p.  385.  The  inquisitions 
ad  quod  Damnum  were  commenced  in  the  first  year  of  the  reign 
of  Edward  IL,  1307,  and  ended  in  the  3811^ of  Henry  VI.,  1460. 
They  were  taken  by  virtue  of  writs  directed  to  the  escheator  of 
each  county,  when  any  grant  of  a  market,  fair,  or  other  privileges, 
or  license  of  alienation  of  lands  was  solicited,  to  inquire  by  a  jury 
whether  such  grant  of  alienation  was  prejudicial  to  the  king  or 
others,  in  case  same  should  be  made.)  '  Inquisit'w  ""p ta  apud

with  the  custom  of  the  age  of  Elizabeth,  of  giving  this  termination 
to  many  w  jrds.  This  letter  was  subsequently  dropped  and  the 
name  assumed  the  original  form."

"We  now  turn  to  consider  the  origin  of  the  name  Upham  as  a 
local  designation.  We  find  it  used  to  indicate  a  place  as  early 
as  the  time  of  King  Edward  the  Confessor  (1041  to  1061), 
in  the  following  passage  from  Doomsday  Book  (vol.  2,  p.  36): 
'  Vpham  tenvit  Edeva  queda  femina  t'.  r'.  p.  dim.  hid.  7.  XXX. 
acr.  mo.  terr.  Will,  de  Warrenna  in  dnio.  val.  X.  sol.'  This  we 
suppose  to  mean  that  a  certain  woman  Edeva,  in  the  reign  of  King 
Edward  the  Confessor  (f.  r'.  e'.  tempora  regis  Edwardi),  held  '  in 
d'nio'  the  place  called  Vpham,  it  being  seven  half  hides  and  thirty 
acres  in  extent,  and  lying  in  the  manor  of  Will,  de  Warrenna.  Val. 
X.  sol. 

"  This  passage  is  thus  referred  to  in  the  index  to  the  same: 


'Lccus  Nola.

Ten.  in  d'nio. 

Comitatus. 

Upham. 

Excessa. 

Hundred. 

Possessor  Nola. 

Berdestapla. 

Will  de  Warrenna. 

"  This  tract  of  land  held  by  Edeva,  under  the  Confessor,  bore, 
undoubtedly  at  that  time,  as  well  as  at  the  period  when  the  Dooms- 
day Book  was  made,  the  name  Upham.  This  places  the  origin 
of  the  name  previous  to  the  battle  of  Hastings,  thereby  precluding 
the  probability  of  a  Norman  origin,  and  compelling  us  to  confine 
our  investigations  to  the  Anglo-Saxon. 

"  In  deciding  upon  the  antiquity  of  this  word,  we  must  first  as- 
certain if  it  be  a  compound  or  a  primitive  word.  It  might  be 
formed  by  uniting  the  Anglo-Saxon  words;  '  Up,  an  adjective, 
signifying  exalted,  high,  elatus,'  and  '  Ham  in  the  names  of  places

denoting  a  home,  dwelling,  village. ' — Bosworth's  Dictionary  of  the 
Anglo-Saxon  Lang.;  Hay's  Proverbs  and  Obsolete  Words.  Lond. 
*i768,  /.  125.  Analogy  favors  this  theory  of  the  origin  of  the 
word  Upham,  for  many  names  of  towns,  having  such  a  termination, 
are  evidently  compounds  in  '  ham.' 

"  Our  own  opinion,  however,  founded  on  reasons  now  to  be  ad- 
duced, is,  that  the  word  Upham  is  primitive,  as  old  as  the  language 
itself,  and  perhaps  of  Celtic,  or  even  earlier  origin,  i.  Because  it  is 
used  in  the  earliest  records,  to  designate  an  extensive  tract  of  land ; 
a  word  the  type  of  which  existed  in  the  language,  and  when  ap- 
plied to  land  would  express  an  inherent  quality.  This  word  is 
'  Upha,  Above,  Super.,  Lye. ' — Bosworth's  Diet.,  A.  S.  Lang.  We 
regret  to  say  that  we  have  no  means  of  ascertaining  the  date  when 
this  word  was  in  use,  as  no  authority  is  given.  Indeed,  the  author 
of  the  Anglo-Saxon  Dictionary  observes,  concerning  the  authority 
for  words:  '  Some  words  are  from  Somner,  Benson  and  Lye,  for 
which  no  other  authority  can  be  found.  The  orthography,  inflec- 
tion and  meaning  of  these  words  are  given  without  alteration,  on 
the  responsibility  of  these  authors.'  2.  Because  the  word,  with 
but  a  slight  alteration,  as  Hupham,  occurs  in  the  Hebrew  (Numb. 
26:39),  ^  cognate  language. 

"  These  speculations  in  regard  to  the  origin  of  the  name  are 
utterly  fruitless  in  genealogical  results,  and  leave  us  in  doubt 
whether  we  should  assign  a  Saxon  or  Norman  origin  to  him  who 
first  assumed  the  name  of  Upham. 

"  It  may  be  proper  in  this  connection  to  enumerate  some  of  the 
places  which  now  bear  the  name  Upham. 

"  Upham,  a  parish  in  the  county  of  Hants,  England,  65  miles 
from  London,  3  N.  N.  W.  from  Bishops  Waltham ;  contained,  in 
1843,  581  inhabitants.  It  was  the  birthplace  of  Dr.  Young,  the 
author  of  the  '  Night  Thoughts.' 

"  Upham,  Tipperary  county,  kingdom  of  Munster,  Ireland.  A

p.  113. 

"  It  may  also  be  proper  to  refer  to  works  in  which  individuals 
of  this  name  are  mentioned. 

"  Thomas  Upham  of  Melverton,  England,  1684,  is  mentioned 
by  Joseph  Besse,  in  his  history  of  the  Quakers  (pp.  638-643)  as 
one  who  suffered  from  religious  persecution. "

tiff, Margaret  Upham;  defendant,  Millissent  CuUeforde.  Object

husband,  Thomas  Upham.  The  defendant  claims  under  another 
grant,  alleged  to  have  been  made  to  her  husband  —  county  of 
Southampton,  now  Hants." 

This  comprises  all  there  is  in  Dr.  Upham's  "  Notices  "  bearing 
upon  this  subject. 

For  some  years  I  have  carefully  preserved  every  item  of  infor- 
mation, however  unimportant,  which  may  some  time  be  found 
useful  as  an  aid  to  the  discovery  of  the  origin  of  John  Upham, 
the  ancestor  of  the  American  Uphams;  such  items  as  have  been 
gathered  in  this  way  are  now  recorded  here  for  future  reference, 
and  with  the  hope  that  they  may  yet  be  useful  in  that  direction. 
In  this  connection  I  will  also  note  that  Col.  Joseph  L.  Chester  — 
the  well-known  American  genealogist,  who  recently  died  in  Lon- 
don—  wrote  me  not  long  before  his  death,  as  follows: 

"  I  have  always  taken  notes  of  the  name  of  Upham  wherever  I 
have  met  it,  such  as  I  have  now  scattered  through  my  collections, 
which  fill  more  than  one  hundred  folio  volumes.  I  do  not  know 
what  I  may  already  have  about  the  Uphams,  possibly  all  that  is 
needed.  From  what  is  known,  and  what  I  know  of  the  Upham 
family,  I  should  think  their  origin  here  might  be  ascertained;  and 
in  the  event  of  a  search,  I  should  count  pretty  confidently  on 
success." 

Previous  to  the    above-mentioned   correspondence,  an  effort

had  been  made  to  find  the  record  of  birth,  and  birthplace  of  John 
Upham,  through  an  English  genealogist  —  of  less  note — who 
wrote:  "  In  looking  up  the  name,  I  find  they  were  an  old  and 
respectable  family,  and  lived  principally  at  Wiveliscome,  in  Som- 
erset; a  branch  also  lived  at  Coventry,  in  Warwickshire." 

The  principal  result  of  this  was  to  obtain  the  following  extracts 
from  the  wills  of  Upham  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury, 
Somerset  House,  London,  between  1350  and  1660,  viz.: 

1587.  John  Uphame  of  Brompton  Ralph,  in  the  parish  of 
Wiveliscombe,  Co.  Somerset;  names  his  wife  Margaret,  and  chil., 
Joane,  John  and  Edward.    He  held  land  also  at  Wiveliscombe. 

1587.  Joane  Upham,  late  of  Dorchester,  widow;  she  mentions 
no  Uphams.

John  Upham,  born  in  the  year  1597,  in  the  parochial  records  of 
that  year  at  Wiveliscombe.  They  were  doubtless  a  Somerset 
family,  and  further  information  ought  to  be  found  among  the 
wills  at  Wells. 

"  Wiveliscombe  is  a  market  town,  and  has  2,735  inhabitants;  it 
is  remotely  situated  among  the  swelling  hills,  on  one  side  of  which 
it  hangs,  with  its  feet  in  the  valley."     (Handbook.) 

A  correspondence  with  the  clergyman  at  "  Upham  Rectory," 
Bishop  Walthara,  Hants,  Eng.,  and  with  the  clergyman  at  "  Upham 
Glebe,"  Killenaule,  County  Tipperary,  Ireland,  shows  that  neither 
of  these  have  been  able  to  discover  the  origin  of  the  name  Upham 
as  applied  to  those  localities. 

The  Bradenstock,  to  which  Dr.  Upham  has  referred  as  the  first 
locality  where  the  name  has  been  found  as  applied  to  a  family,  is 
mentioned  in  Murray's  Handbook  —  Wilts,  Dorset,  and  Somerset, 
London,  1869,  p.  7:  "  Bradenstoke,  or  Broadstoke,  was  one  of 
the  four  religious  houses  which  stood  in  the  early  times  on,  or 
near  the  banks  of  the  Avon;  the  others  were  Malmsbury,  Stanley, 
and  Laycock.  '  Its  remains,'  says  the  poet  Bowles,  '  yet  appear 
conspicuous  on  the  edge  of  that  long  sweep  of  hills  which  formed 
the  S.  W.  bounds  of  the  ancient  forest  of  Braden,  from  whence 
the  Danes  descended  like  a  storm,  to  lay  waste  the  country  about 
Chippenham  and  Laycock.  It  may  be  distinguished  by  the  mossy 
buttresses  and  battlements  afar  off  in  the  sunshine.'  Bradenstock

"  The  remains  of  the  priory  are  well  worth  inspection.  They 
consist  chiefly  of  the  walls  and  roof  of  a  fourteenth  century  hall, 
now  cut  up  into  several  rooms.  The  very  finely-carved  oak  roof, 
with  the  December  ball  flower  on  the  beams,  can  only  be  seen  in  the 
garrets.  At  one  end  of  the  hall  are  the  priors'  chambers,  with  cor- 
ner staircase  and  turret.  A  boss  in  the  ceiling  of  the  chief  room 
bears  the  initial  of  Snow,  the  last  prior.  Beneath  are  vaulted  cel- 
lars, temp.  Richard  II.  Close  to  the  house  is  a  plain  fifteenth  cen-

The  following  notes  show  a  few  individuals  who  have  been  heard 
of  in  recent  years  bearing  this  name  in  England: 

There  was  a  James  George  Upham,  of  the  hamlet  of  Ratcliifej 
in  the  parish  of  Stepney,  Co.  Middlesex,  Eng.  (eldest  son  and  heir 
apparent  of  James  Upham  of  the  same  place,  gentleman,  by  Sarah, 
his  wife,  second  daughter  and  co-heir  of  Rev.  Geo.  Baxter,  D.  D., 
Rector  of  Glaston,  Bucks,  and  Vicar  of  East  Tilbury,  Essex,  and 
Margaret,  his  wife,  one  of  the  daus.  of  John  Huxley  of  Wyer  Hall, 
in  the  parish  of  Edmonton,  Middlesex,  Eng.),  who  took  the  name 
of  Tatem  only,  in  1807.  As  per  official  records  at  College  of  Arms, 
London. 

Married:  Isaac  Guilleman,  M.  D.,  of  Etham,  June  8,  1839,  to 
Anne  Pierce,  the  daughter  of  John  Upham  of  London,  West  India 
merchant.  He  was  born  January  25,  i8ii;  as  per  Guilleman  Pedi- 
gree. 

Married:  Edward  Upham,  of  St.  Martins,  Exeter,  and  Mary 
Hoblyn,  Aug.  25,  1801;  as  per  register  Columb,  St.  Major,  Corn- 
wall. 

Married:  Richard  Helmbridge,  of  East  Coker,  Somerset,  to 
Elizabeth  Vpham, —  apparently  about  1560;  as  per  Visitations. 

In  1873,  was  published  in  London,  a  "  Return  of  Owners  of

Lands  in  all  the  Counties  of  England."  (The  Metropolis  ex- 
cluded.) This  had  the  following  Uphams  only:  "  Mrs.  Upham, 
Bridgewater,  116  acres;  W.  Upham,  Taunton,  23  acres;  Miss  Up- 
ham, Taunton,  i  acre." 

In  1877,  William  George  Upham,  who  was  in  business  at  75 
High  St.,  Hamste&d,  London,  wrote  that  his  father  was  Hugh 
Northam  Upham,  born  in  Taunton,  Somerset ;  where  his  father 
was  also  born,  his  name  being  William.  William  George  had 
brothers  in  London:  John  Launcelot,  Robert  Northam,  and  Alfred 
Eugene  Edward;  all  of  w'lom  were  in  business,  or  occupying  posi- 
tions of  some  kind.  Hugh  Northam  —  father  of  this  family  —  said 
the  family  was  probably  originally  from  Devonshire.  He  also  said 
there  were  but  few  of  the  name  in  England,  so  far  as  he  was  aware, 
and  these  he  believed  all  came  from  the  same  original  family.  A 
George  Upham  was  also  mentioned,  living  at  Russell  House,  South 
End  Road,  Hampstead,  London,  N.  W.;  he  had  been  a  bookseller 
and  publisher  in  Bond  St.,  had  also  been  at  one  time  connected 
with  the  British  Museum,  and  was  from  Devonshire.  Further 
mention  was  made  of  Edwin  and  William  Upham,  of  Taunton, — 
relatives  of  the  writer  —  the  latter  of  whom  was  town  clerk  at  Taun- 
ton. William  George  Upham  manifested  an  unusual  degree  of 
interest  in  the  subject  of  the  origin  of  the  Uphams,  and  expressed 
his  intention  to  investigate  the  matter,  but  I  am  not  aware  that  he 
has  ever  paid  farther  attention  to  it. 

In  188  r,  William  Arthur  Upham,  of  London  (Atlas  Assurance 
Company,  Fire  Dept.,  92  Cheapside),  also  wrote,  saying  he  was 
born  in  Taunton,  in  1834;  his  father  —  then  deceased  —  had  been 
the  town  clerk  at  Taunton,  He  too  was  apparently  quite  inter- 
ested in  the  origin  of  the  family,  and  expressed  a  purpose  to  give 
the  matter  his  attention,  but  nothing  more  has  come  from  him. 

In  all  probability  the  family  has  been  located  within  twenty  or 
thirty  miles  of  Bath,  for  many  generations.  Edward  Upham, 
bookseller,  fellow  of  the  Oriental  Society,  etc.,  was  mayor  of  Bath,

azine about  1836.  See,  also,  Allibone's  Diet,  of  Authors.  He

was  also  a  bookseller  at  Bristol. 

These  notes  are  all  given,  not  that  they  have  a  special  value  in 
themselves,  but  it  is  believed  they  might  lead  to  something  should 
a  determined  search  at  some  time  be  entered  upon,  with  a  view  to 
establishing  the  origin  of  the  family  and  name  in  England. 

It  may  be  well  to  also  call  attention  to  the  work  of  John  O'Hart: 
"  The  Irish  Landed  Gentry,  when  Cromwell  came  to  Ireland."  In 
this  he  gives  the  n^ime  as  of  Irish  origin,  and  says  on  page  i8o: 
"  This  sirname  "  —  Upham  —  "  is  an  anglicised  form  of  the  ancient 
Irish  Uppainj  a  family  descended  from  Ir,  one  of  the  sons  of 
Milesius  of  Spain,  a  quo  the  Milesian  Irish  Nation."  But  the  only 
proof  he  offers  is  a  reference  to  the  locality  in  Ireland  where  the 
name  appears  —  and  which  has  been  already  mentioned  here  — 
and  to  the  fact  that  a  family  of  'he  name  were  living  at  Dublin, 
All  his  references  go  to  show  the  English,  and  not  the  Irish 
origin,  and  are  largely  those  already  given  in  the  foregoing;  it  is 
therefore  concluded  that  such  a  theory  is  not  tenable.  The 
family  mentioned  as  living  in  Dublin,  as  has  been  since  learned, 
are  obscure  fishermen,  with  no  knowledge  of  their  ancestry,  and 
are  quite  as  likely  to  have  been  of  English,  as  of  Irish  origin; 
though  how  the  name  got  into  Ireland  is  a  matter  for  interesting 
speculation. 


THE  HULL  COLONY. 


Gilbert  Nash,  recording  secretary  of  the  Weymouth  Historical 
Society,  in  the  printed  proceedings  of  that  society  (No.  i),  has 
recorded  this: 

"  The  Rev.  Joseph  Hull,  a  native  of  Somersetshire,  England,  a 
graduate  of  St.  Mary's  Hall,  Oxford,  and  a  preacher  of  some 
celebrity  in  the  south-west  of  England,  having  become  dissatisfied 
with  his  position,  or,  inspired  with  a  desire  to  see  the  new  world 
just  now  dawning  upon  the  eyes  of  Europe,  and  toward  which  so 
many  of  his  friends  and  neighbors  were  flocking,  resigned,  in  1632, 
the  rectorship  of  Northleigh,  in  Devon,  which  he  had  held  for 
eleven  years,  and  gathering  a  company  of  devoted  followers  who 
were  willing  to  share  with  him  the  dangers,  difficulties  and  pleas- 
ures of  this  new  and  unknown  country,  set  sail  on  the  20th  of 
March,  1635,  from  Weymouth,  in  Old  Dorset,  for  the  lands  of  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  Colony. 

"  The  company  consisted  of  twenty-one  families  —  about  one 
hundred  and  five  individuals  —  with  probably  no  more  definite 
destination  than  that  so  generally  indicated  above,  preferring  to 
leave  the  precise  spot  of  their  location  to  the  direction  of  Provi- 
dence. After  a  passage  of  forty-six  days,  a  fair  one  for  that 
period,  with  such  vessels  as  they  could  command,  and  of  which 
we  have  no  further  record,  they  passed  in  among  the  verdant 
islands  of  that  beautiful  bay,  leaving  on  their  left  the  bustling 
settlement  of  Hull,  then  a  harbor  for  the  inner  plantations,  and 
after  a  pleasant  sail  of  about  ten  miles  cast  anchor  before  Gover- 
nor Winthrop's  infant  village  of  Boston.  This  was  on  the  6th  of 
May,  and  it  was  not  until  July  2,  that,  with  the  permission  of  the 
General  Court,  they  at  length  settled  upon  Wessaguscus  as  their

future  home,  the  name  of  which,  in  pleasant  memory  of  the  port 
in  Dorset  they  had  so  recently  left,  was  changed  to  Weymouth, — 
a  name  it  has  honorably  borne  to  the  present  time,  with  its  orig< 
inal  territory  unchanged  by  addition  or  diminution. 

"  This  selection  was  a  serious  business  for  the  new  colonists, 
whose  eyes  were  familiar  only  with  the  highly  cultivated  fields  of 
old  England,  who  knew  little  of  the  capacities  of  the  soil  upon 
which  they  now  trod  for  the  first  time,  of  whose  history  they  knew 
nothing,  and  whose  outlines,  even,  they  could  hardly  discern,  so 
thickly  were  they  wooded. 

"  There  was  no  lack  in  quantity  of  land,  and  but  little  dispute 
with  respect  to  titles,  owing  to  war  and  pestilence,  which  had 
nearly  depopulated  that  section ;  but  there  was  a  choice  in  quality 
and  location,  and  even  that  must  be  left  mainly,  as  they  had  from 
the  first  proposed,  to  the  direction  of  Providence.  So  they  sailed 
down  the  harbor,  passing  the  many  islands  that  dot  so  thickly  its 
fair  surface,  and  entering  the  estuary  now  called  Fore  River,  came 
to  anchor  in  a  small  cove  about  four  miles  from  its  mouth,  after- 
ward known  as  Mill  Creek,  and  not  far  from  the  spot  where 
Weston's  colony  found  a  landing  some  thirteen  years  before. 

"  Weymouth,  even  af  so  early  a  date,  was  not  wholly  a  wilder- 
ness, for  with  the  Weston  settlement  of  1622,  that  of  the  Gorges 
in  the  following  year,  scattered  remnants  of  wliose  people  yet  re- 
mained upon  the  ground,  and  others  who  had  since  come  in,  quite 
a  population  had  gathered  within  the  limits  of  Wessaguscus,  while 
the  land  had  been  so  generally  taken  up,  and  the  plantations  were 
so  closely  connected  that  the  new  comers  were  obliged  to  make 
their  settlement  upon  territory  further  to  the  southward. 

"  The  tract  selected  was  situated  southerly  from  Burying  Hill 
(beyond  which,  to  the  north,  were  the  larger  portion  of  the  older 
farms),  with  King  Oak  Hill  for  a  central  point,  from  whose  sum- 
mit, seaward  and  landward  extended  a  magnificent  prospect  of 
hill  and  stream,  of  forest  and  bay,  not  surpassed  in  natural  beauty 
by  the  most  favored  landscapes  of  the  old  world.  The  temporary 
habitations  of  the  Weymouth  colonists  of  1635  were  located  in  the 
valley  lying  along  its  western  base,  reaching  to   Burying   Hill.

Upon  the  latter  were  the  meeting-house  and  watch-house,  as  well 
as  the  burying-place,  while  the  farms  were  scattered  for  a  distance 
to  the  west,  south  and  east.  The  rude  shelters  first  erected  were 
replaced  from  time  to  time  by  more  substantial  and  commodious 
structures  built  upon  the  farms  themselves,  when  the  lands  had 
become  better  improved,  and  the  danger  from  Indians  less  im- 
minent." " 

In  a  later  paper,  prepared  by  Mr.  Nash,  and  read  at  the  Nov., 
1882,  meeting  of  the  Weymouth  Historical  Society,  and  also  at  the 
Dec. — same  year  —  meeting  of  the  New  England  Historic-Gene- 
alogical Society  in  Boston,  and  published  in  the  Weymouth  Ga- 
zette, of  February  23,  1883;  he  makes  frequent  mention  of  the 
Hull  Colony,  from  which  the  following  extracts  have  been  made, 
the  paper  itself  having  a  special  reference  to  the  history  of  the 
first  church  at  Weymouth. 

"The  Massachusetts  Colonial  Records  (I.  149)  state,  under 
date  of  July  8,  1635,  that  '  there  is  a  leave  granted  to  twenty-one 
ffamilyes  to  sitt  down  at  Wessaguscus.'  Gov.  Winthrop  in  his 
journal  (I.  194)  says,  'at  the  court  (5  mo.  8)  Wessaguscus  was 
made  a  plantation,  a  Mr.  Hull,  a  minister  in  England,  and  twenty- 
one  families  with  him,  allowed  to  sit  down  there  —  after  called 
Weymouth.' 

"The  very  general  assumption  that  there  was  no  permanent 
settlement  in  Weymouth  (using  the  name  by  which  the  town  has 
since  been  known),  previous  to  the  arrival  of  the  Hull  company, 
in  1635,  can  hardly  be  sustained  in  the  face  of  the  very  strong 
evidence  to  the  contrary.  C  F.  Adams,  Jr.,  Esq.,  in  his  address 
delivered  4th  July,  1874,  at  the  celebration  of  the  two  hundred  and 
fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  settlement  of  the  town,  and  in  his  paper 
on  the  *  Old  planters  about  Boston  harbor,'  read  before  the  Massa- 
chusetts Historical  Society,  and  published  in  its  collections,  proves 
conclusively  that  the  Gorges  company,  which  settled  upon  the 
deserted  plantations  of  Thomas  Weston's  people,  in  September, 
1623,  and  which,  it  has  usually  been  thought,  was  wholly  broken 
up  in  the  following  spring,  left  a  number  of  its  emigrants  there, 
who  remained  and  become  permanent  settlers.    These  were  joined

from  time  to  time  by  single  families  or  small  companie;!,  until, 
upon  the  arrival  of  Mr.  Hull's  company,  the  settlemcr-r  had  attained 
quite  respectable  proportions. 

"  A  careful  analysis  of  the  court  and  town  records  will  show 
that,  instead  ol  the  company  from  Weymouth,  England,  in  1635, 
being  the  first  settlers,  there  were,  at  the  date  of  its  arrival,  cer- 
tainly not  less  than  fifty  families,  and  perhaps  seventy  or  eighty, 
already  residing  there;  and  it  is  more  than  possible  that  this  was 
an  important  reason  why  thiii  place  was  selected  by  this  company 
for  its  settlement.  A  flourishing  colony  already  established  was 
sufficient  evidence  of  good  soil,  a  good  location,  a  favorable  i>^si- 
tion  for  trade  with  the  Indians,  and  for  communication  with  other 
plantations  about  the  bay;  besides,  and  this  was  no  insi(im:ii.ant 
matter  in  those  days,  the  protection  thus  afforded  from  the  sav- 
ages. More  than  this,  probably  many  of  the  previous  settlers 
were  relatives  or  friends  of  the  later  arrivals. 

"  The  similarity  of  name,  and  of  the  localities  of  some  whose 
former  residences  are  known,  give  color  to  this  probabilit/;  and 
the  name  Weymouth,  given  at  this  time,  1635,  to  the  plantation, 
may  not  be  wholly  owing  to  the  influx  of  new  people  sailing  from 
Weymouth,  in  Dorset,  but  to  the  calling  up  of  old  memories  in 
the  minds  of  the  previous  settlers,  who,  years  before,  sailed  from 
the  same  port  nud  perhaps  lived  there. 

"An  examination  of  the  public  records  will  afford  evidence, 
surprising  in  value  and  volume,  of  this  early  and  continued  settle- 
ment. Although  the  earliest  record  in  the  archives  of  the  town 
bears  date  loth  Dec,  1636,  and  very  few  entries  are  prior  to 
1644-5,  yc*  there  are  those  undated  that  are  probably  earlier,  and 
these,  with  the  evidence  reflected  from  the  later  dates,  together 
with  corroboration  received  from  other  and  contemporaneous 
sources,  give  additional  and  strong  proof  in  support  of  the  same. 

"  Thus  we  have  the  Gorges  colony  in  1623,  the  arrival  of  anew 
company  from  Weymouth,  England,  thr  '"nllowingvear,  the  capture 
of  Morton  in  16?.^,  the  visit  of  Governoi  W.rth-np  in  163-  '*"e

temporaneous  ourcescovn.ig  nearly  the  Intervening  time  These 
aflbrd  a  firm  basis  upon  which  to  rest  an  earlier  settlement  than 
that  of  the  Hull  company. 

"  Of  the  settlers  who  W(_  re  here  in  1628  and  '30,  wc  know  very  little 
beyond  the  fact  that  they  were  here  at  that  date,  and  that  Thomas 
Morton,  of  Mount  Wollaston,  of  unpleasant  memory,  was  on  inti- 
mate terms  with  some  of  them,  and  was  arrested  by  he  Plymouth 
authorities,  while  on  a  visit  here  in  1638.  Our  facts  relating  to 
the  early  settlement  are  briefly  these.  A  permanent  settlement  in 
the  fall  of  1633,  by  Col.  Robert  Gorges,  continued  additions  during 
the  next  four  years,  the  arrest  of  Morton,  casual  mention  for  the 
following  three  years,  the  visit  of  Governor  Winthrop,  on  his  way 
to  and  from  Plymouth,  in  1633,  record  of  births  in  1633,  and  the 
colonial  tax  lists  from  1630  onwards  until  the  er-^ction  of  the  set- 
tlement into  a  plantation,  with  the  right  of  a  deputy  to  the  General 
Court. 

"There  are  reasons  why  the  early  con  temporanous  records  and 
writers  so  seldom  mention  this  town  and  its  affair  ,  in  the  fact  of 
its  different  origin,  the  marked  jealousy,  not  to  say  nkind  feelings 
which  the  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts  Bay  Coloni  s  regarded  it. 
It  had  a  more  commercial  element  in  its  constiturion.  It  was, 
also,  in  its  incipience,  episcopal  in  its  ecclesiastical  rehi  tions,  which, 
although  gradually  relaxing,  carried  enough  of  the  .lavor  of  the 
'establishment'  with  it  to  make  it  any  thing  but  palatible  to  the 
taste  of  their  puritan  and  independent  neighbors.  The  relation 
then  existing  between  them  and  their  neighbors  about  -he  Bay  we 
cannot  determine  with  certainty  now,  but  we  may  judge  something 
of  what  they  were  by  the  casual  mention,  and  the  inci  dental  ex- 
hibitions of  feeling,  cropping  out  but  too  frequently. 

"On  the  3d  of  September  (1635)  the  name  of  the  settlement 
was  changed  to  Weymouth,  and  it  was  made  a  plantaticn,  with  a 
privilege  of  a  deputy  to  the  General  Court.  Mr.  Hull  *as  also 
made  a  freeman  at  the  same  time.  His  first  grant  of  Ian  i  is  re- 
corded, as  in  Weymouth,  isth  June,  1636.  The  same  year  he  also 
received  a  grant  of  land  at  Hingham.  In  1637,  he  was  reported 
as  being  still  in  Weymouth,  while  the  same  year,  probably  later

and  transiently,  he  is  named  among  the  list  of  first  settlers  in 
Salem.  He  was  also  heard  from  about  the  same  time  preaching 
at  Bass  River,  Beverly.  In  September,  1638,  he  was  chosen 
deputy  to  the  General  Court  from  Hingham,  and  was  also  ap- 
pointed a  local  magistrate  for  the  same  town.  In  1639,  he  was 
again  elected  its  deputy  to  the  General  Court.  Fifth  May  of  that 
year,  he  preached  his  farewell  sermon  in  Weymouth,  and  later,  in 
the  same  month,  is  heard  from  at  Barnstable,  in  Plymouth  Colony, 
making  a  settlement." 

"  His  sojourn  at  Barnstable  was  a  short  and  stormy  one,  for  he 
had  hardly  become  settled  there  with  his  little  company  "  (this 
has  not  reference  to  the  original  company  which  came  with  him  to 
Weymouth),  "  when  the  territory  was  entered  upon  by  Rev.  Mr. 
Lothrop  and  his  flock  from  Scituate.  Mr.  Hull  was  made  a  free- 
man of  Plymouth  Colony,  in  December,  1639.  There  seems  to 
have  been  trouble  in  the  Barnstable  church,  and  Mr.  Hull  preached 
at  Yarmouth  so  acceptably,  that  early  in  1641  he  received  a  tall 
from  the  church  there,  which  he  promptly  accepted,  and  for  which 
he  and  his  wife  were  excommunicated  by  the  Barnstable  church. 
On  this  account  perhaps,  and  possibly  from  the  influence  of  the 
Plymouth  authorities,  who  appear  to  have  become  hostile  to  him, 
his  stay  at  Yarmouth  was  of  short  duration,  for  we  find  him  as  a 
preacher  at  the  Isle  of  Shoals,  in  March,  1642.  He  seems  not  yet 
to  have  wholly  abandoned  the  Plymouth  Colony,  for,  nth  March, 

1642,  his  wife  renews  her  covenant  with  the  Barnstable  church, 
and  7th  March,  1643,  a  warrant  for  his  arrest  is  issued  by  the  court, 
*  should  he  continue  his  ministrations  as  minister  or  magistrate  in 
that  colony.'  His  troubles  there  appear  to  have  been  adjusted, 
for  he  was  received  back  into  the  Barnstable  church  10th  August, 

1643.  He  now  bids  farewell  to  thaL  colony,  and  we  next  hear  of 
him  as  preaching  at  York,  Maine,  where,  or  in  that  vicinity,  he  re- 
mained for  eight  or  ten  years,  subject  however  to  the  not  very 
friendly  attentions  of  his  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony  acquaintances. 
He  afterward  returned  to  England,  and  was,  in  1659,  rector  of  St. 
Buryan's,  Cornwall,  where  he  remained  about  three  years,  when 
his  name  appears  among  the  ejected  ministers  under  the  '  St.  Bar-

tholomew  Act.'  He  again  took  refuge  in  America,  where  he  was 
found,  1665,  the  year  of  his  death,  once  more  at  the  Isle  of  Shoals* 
having  been  driven  from  Oyster  River  by  the  Quakers. 

*'  Mr.  Hull  was  born  in  Somersetshire,  England,  in  1594;  was 
educated  at  Oxford  University,  St.  Mary's  Hall,  where  he  grad- 
uated in  1614;  became  rector  at  Northleigh,  Devon,  in  1621,  which 
position  he  resigned  in  1632,  when  he  commenced  gathering  from 
his  native  county  and  those  surrounding  it,  the  company  with  which 
he  sailed  from  Weymouth,  Dorset,  20th  March,  1635. 

"  *  Mr.  Hull,'  says  Mr.  Savage,  'came  over  in  the  Episcopal  in-  , 
terest '  and  his  sympathies  appear  to  have  leaned  in  that  direction, 
although  while  in  America  he  was  professedly  a  non-conformist,  or 
Independent;  hence,  probably,  the  jealousy  and  petty  persecution 
which  followed  him  with  more  or  less  virulence,  during  the  greater 
part  of  his  residence  on  these  shores.  He  was  a  man  of  worth  and 
learning  by  the  admission  of  Hubbard.  He  must  have  been  a 
popular  man  from  his  success  in  securing  followers  to  make  up  his 
company  of  emigrants,  and  his  selection  by  the  voice  of  his  con- 
stituents at  three  different  elections  as  deputy  to  the  General  Court, 
twice  at  Hingham,  and  once  at  Barnstable.  He  must  have  been 
an  acceptable  preacher  from  the  eagerness  with  which  his  services 
were  sought.  Dr.  Mather  places  him  among  'our  first  good  men ' 
and  Pike,  his  successor  at  Dover,  re  members  him  as  '  a  reverend 
minister,'  while  Governor  Winthrop  says  he  was  '  a  very  contentious 
man.'  Possibly  the  worthy  Governor  may  not  have  been  quite 
free  from  prejudice  against  the  free-spoken,  independent  minister, 
'  with  Episcopal  antecedents  and  tendencies.  Yet  the  frequent  re- 
movals, numerous  troubles,  vexations  and  lawsuits,  certainly  give 
room  for  the  Governor's  opinion.  No  fault  seems  to  have  been 
found  with  his  moral  or  religious  character,  but  he  was  certainly 
unfortunate  in  thij  country  by  having  circumstances  so  often  against 
him,  or  in  having  so  many  bad  neighbors.  It  is  somewhat  doubt- 
ful whether  he  was  ever  settled  over  the  church  at  Weymouth." 

This  somewhat  detailed  account  of  Mr.  Hull,  and  his  affairs,  is 
preserved  for  the  reason  that  it  will  naturally  be  of  interest  to  the 
descendants  of  the  members  of  the  Hull  Colony;  and  it  may  in-

dicate,  to  some  extent,  what  was  perhaps  the  general  character  of 
his  followers,  though  his  relations  with  them  appear  to  have  ceased 
not  very  long  after  reaching  at  Weymouth. 

The  following  is  a  complete  list  of  the  Hull  company,  with  care- 
ful notes  of  correction  by  Mr.  Rufus  King,  of  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  the 
name  of  whose  ancestor  appears  therein.  Mr.  King  has  circulated 
copies  of  this  list  among  the  parishes  in  England,  in  which  it  is 
probable  the  company  was  organized,  with  a  view  to  the  identifica- 
tion of  his  ancestor.  Mr.  Robt.  B.  Hull,  of  New  York,  a  descendant 
of  the  Rev.  Joseph  Hull,  has  also  endeavored  to  ascertain  as  much 
as  possible  with  reference  to  the  origin  of  these  people.  He  says: 
"  Several  of  the  emigrants  came  from  Broudway  in  Somerset,"  and 
thinks,  "the  name  of  Robert  Dabyn  should  be  Robert  Davys; 
Whitemarke,  should  be  Whitemarsh;  George  Allen  was  an  old 
man,  aged  67  in  1635.  He  had  been  preceded  by  two  sons,  by  a 
first  wife,  Henry  and  Samuel,  who  came  in  1629-30.  'Poole,'  says 
Porter,  *  was  born  in  Batcombe,  Somerset,'  but  Baylie  derives  the 
family  from  Taunton;  John  Uphim  is  mentioned  in  'News  from 
New  England;'  Hoble  should  be  Hubble;  Huste  should  be  Harte; 
Woodcooke  should  be  Woodcock;  Porter's  age  should  be  23,  or 
33.  Thoroughgood  was  probably  a  brother,  or  relative,  of  the 
courtier  Sir  John,  was  appointed  clerk  for  license  to  persons  going 
abroad,  19th  Nov.,  1631.  These  emigrants  were  joined  on  this  side 
of  the  water  by  Edward  Bennett,  Mr.  Thomas  Jenner,  sen.,  Thomas

THE  DESCENDANTS  OF  JOHN  UPHAM 
,      AND  HIS  WIFE  ELIZABETH  WEBB. 


I.  John  Upham  was  the  first  to  bear  his  name  in  America, 
and  so  far  as  known,  he  was  the  ancestor  of  all  who  have  since  had 
the  name  in  this  country.*  He  was  born  in  England,  probably 
in  Somersetshire ;  but  of  his  origin,  or  ancestry,  nothing  is  known. 
He  came  to  Weymouth  with  the  Hull  Colony,  a  record  of  which 
has  already  been  given,  and  according  to  which,  the  family  at  that 
time  consisted  of  the  following  members: 

John  Upham,  age  35  ;  John  Upham,  jr.,  age  7  ; 

Elizabeth  Upham,  age  32  ;   Nathaniel  Upham,  age  5  ; 

Sarah  Upham,  age  26  ;  Elizabeth  Upham,  age  3. 
As  will  be  observed,  his  age  is  given  as  thirty-five  at  that  time, 
according  to  which  he  would  have  been  born  in  the  year  1600; 
the  record  on  his  gravestone  would  make  his  age  three  years 
more,  but  this  is  probably  a  mistake,  for  the  age  as  given  by  him- 
self,—  as  this  must  have  been  —  in  his  early  years,  would  without 
doubt  be  more  reliable  than  one  which  was  recorded  after  his 
death,  and  also  the  death  of  most  of  the  members  of  his  family. 
From  other  sources,  we  know  that  the  name  of  his  wife  was  Eliza- 
beth, and  so  assume  the  Elizabeth  above  mentioned  was  his  wife, 
her  age  at  that  time  being  thirty-two.  Sarah  Upham,  age  26,  was 
likely  his  sister;  there  is  no  further  record  of  her  in  connection 
with  the  family,  that  has  been  discovered.  John,  Nathaniel,  and 
Elizabeth  were  unquestionably  his  children,  subsequent  mention 
proves  them  to  have  been  such.     His  wife,  Elizabeth,  was  the 

*There  ue  some  who  have  received  this  name  through  adoption,  whom  tliis  does  not  in- 
clude of  course-

mother  of  all  his  children,  unless,  which  is  not  probable,  and  there 
is  nothing  to  indicate,  there  was  an  earlier  marriage  in  England. 

With  regard  to  his  wife:  her  name  is  assumed  to  have  been  Webb, 
for  the  will  of  Richard  Webb  has  this :  "  Also  I  appoint  and  design 
my  loving  friends.  Deacon  John  Upham,  of  Maiden,  Deacon  Clapp 
and  Lieut.  Clapp,  to  be  r.iy  executors,"  etc.  This  dated  July  ai, 
1659,  while  in  the  same  record,  and  bearing  the  same  date,  is  the 
following :  "  Joseph  Webb  being  before  me,  the  magistrate,  de- 
clared that  he  chose  his  Uncle  Upham,  Lieut.  Clapp,  and  Deacon 
Clapp,  whom  his  father  appointed  executors  of  his  will,  to  be  guar- 
dians," etc.  John  Upham,  to  have  been  the  uncle  of  Joseph,  the 
■  son  of  Richard  Webb,  must  either  have  married  'be  sister  of  the 
said  Richard  Webb,  oi  Richard  Webb  must  have  rnarried  the  sister 
of  John  Upham.  There  is  no  record  of  the  death  of  John  Up- 
ham's  wife  Elizabeth,  though  as  will  appear  later,  he  contracted 
another  marriage  in  his  old  age,  in  167 1. 

Mr.  Wyman  says:  "  Deeds  and  probate  records  show  that  Deacon 
John  Upham  was  brother-in-law  to  Joanna,  wife  of  Robert  Martin, 
of  Rehoboth,  and  to  Richard  Webb,  of  Weymouth." 

On  the  second  day  of  September,  1635,  John  Upham  was  ad- 
mitted freeman,  at  Weymouth,  at  i' e  same  time  with  the  Rev. 
Joseph  Hull,  and  others  of  the  Huli  company.  This  was  also  the 
date  on  which  the  name  of  the  place  was  changed  from  Wessagus- 
cus  to  Weymouth,  and  it  was  made  a  plantation  at  the  same  time, 
with  the  privilege  of  a  deputy  to  the  General  Court,  From  this 
date  the  members  of  this  company  appear  to  have  been  an  im- 
portant element  in  that  community. 

Mr.  Nash,  the  Weymouth  chronicler,  thus  indicates  the  condi- 
tion of  affairs  at  Weymouth  on  the  arrival  of  the  Hull  company: 
"  If  it  were  the  usual  custom  in  the  settlement  of  this  country  to 
form  churches  immediately  after  taking  permanent  possession, 
and  of  this  there  can  be  little  doubt,  then  Wessaguscus  should 
have  had  a  church  several  years  at  least  before  the  arrival  of  the 
Rev.  Joseph  Hull. 

"With  the  Gorges  company,  in  the  autumn  of  1623,  came  Rev. 
William  Morrell,  their  minister,  a  clergyman  of  the  established

church.  He  appears  to  have  been  a  quiet,  scholarly  gentleman,  of 
cultivated  tastes  and  refined  habits,  much  better  fitted  for  the  duties 
and  enjoyments  of  an  English  rectory,  than  to  found  and  build 
up  a  church  in  the  rough  settlements  of  a  new  country.  He 
could  better  enjoy  the  congenial  society  of  his  equals,  at  home, 
than  guide  the  rude,  independent  minds  of  those  who  constituted 
his  companions  in  this,  to  him,  wholly  unknown  enterprise.  The 
whole  plan  of  the  undertaking  was  conceived  and  started  in  a 
spirit  particularly  unconscious  of  the  real  position  of  affairs 
where  it  was  to  be  executed.  It  was  a  paper  campaign,  projected 
by  an  unpractical  general,  and  entrusted  to  incompetent  officers. 
As  such  the  result  was  inevitable  failure.  It  was  started  with 
organization  and  machinery  enough  to  carry  on  a  colony  of  the 
greatest  magnitude  after  years  of  successful  growth;  and  in  order 
to  give  it  dignity  and  importance,  and  to  secure  the  favor  of  the 
home  government,  its  ecclesiastical  character  and  position  were 
well  cared  for  in  the  plan.  Mr.  Morrell  was  their  minister,  suffi- 
cient for  the  needs  of  its  first  company.  He  was  the  pioneer  to 
whom  was  entrusted  all  of  the  preliminary  work  that  was  to 
speedily  result  in  a  flourishing  bishopric,  and  as  such  he  was 
clothed  with  ample  powers,  with  full  control  of  all  the  churches 
present  and  in  immediate  prospect  upon  these  shores.  The  reality 
soon  satisfied  him  that  the  plan  was  a  failure,  or  that  he  was  not 
the  man  to  execute  it.  A  rigorous  climate,  an  inhospitable  coast, 
and  the  companionship  of  uncongenial  spirits  were  more  than  he 
had  bargained  for  and  more  than  he  could  bear.  With  the  dis- 
couragements of  many  of  his  associates  he  sympathized.  Thus 
we  find  that  he  remained  with  his  charge  about  a  year  and  a  half 
and  then  sailed  to  England,  sailing  from  Plymouth;  having  had 
the  rare  good  sense  and  discretion  to  keep  his  ecclesiastical  powers 
and  authority  to  himself,  for  he  did  not  in  the  least  degree  attempt 
to  exercise  these,  although  they  were  so  large,  showing  them  only 
when  about  to  leave. 

"  With  this  marvellous  prospect  before  him  when  he  undertook 
the  position,  and  the  facilities  given  him  to  carry  out  almost  any 
ideas  he  may  have  entertained  respecting  his  ecclesiastical  work, 


"viv  i"iiii?^^4BpM

J0  *       Upham  Genealogy. 

however  extravagant  they  may  have  been,  is  it  presumptuous  to 
suppose  that  he  did  not  neglect  the  very  first  step  necessary  to 
carry  out  the  plan  of  the  enterprise,  which  would  be  the  formation 
of  a  local  church  ?  We  have  no  positive  evidence  that  he  did  this, 
but  the  probabilities  would  certainly  seem  to  favor  such  a  proceed- 
ing. Without  such  an  organization  he  could  hope  to  accomplish  but 
little;  with  it  he  would  have  made  a  beginning  and  laid  the  founda- 
tions, at  least,  upon  which  to  erect  the  imposing  structure,  that  had 
filled  the  minds  of  the  original  projectors  in  England." 

Mr.  Nash  then  refers  to  a  passage  in  "  Prince's  Chronicles," 
relating  to  this  settlement,  which  he  says,  "seems  not  to  be 
credited  by  Mr.  Adams,  yet  it  is  of  such  a  nature  that  we  can 
hardly  pass  it  by  as  entirely  without  foundation."  The  passage 
is  this :  "  This  year  comes  some  additions  to  the  few  inhabitants 
of  Wessaguscus,  from  Weymouth,  England,  who  were  another  sort 
of  people  than  the  former."  Then  in  brackets  ["and  on  whose 
account  I  conclude  the  town  is  since  called  Weymouth "].  To 
which  is  appended  the  following  note:  "  They  have  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Barnard,  their  first  non-conformist  minister,  who  dies  among  them. 
But  whether  he  comes  before  or  after  1630,  or  when  he  dies  is  yet 
unknown,  nor  do  I  anywhere  find  the  least  hint  of  him,  but  in  the 
manuscript  letter  taken  from  some  of  the  oldest  people  of  Wey- 
mouth." 

Mr.  Nash  says  further:  "  This  statement  is  a  very  important 
one,  and  would  seem  to  be  entitled  to  more  weight  than  Mr. 
Adams  is  inclined  to  allow  it.  Rev.  Thomas  Prince  was  born  15th 
May,  1687,  and  was  old  enough  before  their  decease,  to  know  many 
of  those  who  were  the  children  of  the  very  earliest  settlers  of  the 
town.  Mr.  Prince  himself  does  not  appear  to  doubt  its  correct- 
ness, but  is  surprised  to  find  no  mention  made  of  the  company  and 
the  minister,  Mr.  Barnard,  in  contemporaneous  writers.  As  be- 
fore intimated,  satisfactory  reasons  could  no  doubt  be  found  for 
such  omissions  were  the  relations  between  the  few  scattered  set- 
tlements of  this  time  known  to  us. 

"  We  have  no  further  record  of  church  or  minister  until  1635, 
when  permission  was  given,  8th  July,  by  the  General  Court,  for

Rev.  Joseph  Hull  and  twenty-one  families  to  sit  down  at  Wesia- 
guscus. 

"  Rev.  Mr.  Morrell,  it  is  admitted,  came  to  this  town  in  the 
Episcopal  interest.  He  was  a  clergyman  of  the  established  church, 
clothed  with  extraordinary  powers  to  form,  govern  and  perpetuate 
churches  of  that  communion.  Whatever  influence  he  exerted 
was  in  favor  of  the  extension  and  strengthening  of  that  organiza- 
tion. His  people  were  in  sympathy  with  him  in  this  matter,  and 
if  he  founded  a  church  here  it  was  of  that  denomination;  if  he 
did  not,  he  left  influences  behind  him  that  would  naturally  work 
toward  the  accomplishment  of  that  purpose,  and  these  influences 
would  as  naturally  continue  to  operate  while  these  settlers  formed 
an  important  element  in  that  community;  they  would  of  necessity 
oppose  the  ecclesiastical  systems  of  the  Plymouth  and  Bay  colo- 
nies, then  or  soon  after  to  become  their  neighbors.  While  the 
settlement  was  one,  before  the  arrival  of  Gov.  Winthrop  and  the 
rapid  increase  of  settlements  around  the  Bay,  there  was  nothing 
to  call  up  this  feeling  of  opposition,  for  the  few  emigrants  who 
came  from  time  to  time,  even  if  their  sympathies  were  ;it  variance 
with  the  previous  settlers,  had  enough  to  do  to  look  after  their 
own  affairs;  besides,  the  colony  was  not  strong  enough  to  quarrel. 
The  arrival  of  Gov.  Winthrop,  the  establishment  of  the  colonial 
government,  and  the  large  tide  of  emigration  that  set  in  imme- 
diately after,  had  its  effect  upon  the  little  plantation  at  Wessa- 
guscus.  The  favorable  situation,  and  the  already  established 
community,  drew  in  many  new  settlers  from  other  points,  and  the 
influence  of  the  government  and  the  religious  system  it  supported, 
soon  made  itself  felt,  and  with  the  little  assistance  derived  from 
these  sources,  became  at  length  predominant.  Still  the  old  feel- 
ing of  loyalty  to  the  Church  of  England  and  to  the  Gorges  com- 
pany was  powerful  enough  to  form  a  strong  party. 

"  This  was  the  position  of  affairs  when,  in  the  summer  of  163S, 
the  arrival  of  Mr.  Hull  and  his  score  of  families  introduced  a  new 
element  of  discord  into  the  already  divided  community.  The  new- 
comers, not  in  full  sympathy  with  either  faction,  deemed  them- 
selves strong  enough  and  of  sufficient  importance  to  have  at  least

an  equal  voice  in  the  councils  of  the  town,  and  as  there  M'as  no 
minister  at  their  coming,  and  as  they  brought  one  ready-made  at 
their  hands,  what  better  could  they  do  than  accept  him  for  all  ? 
This  at  once  aroused  the  opposition  of  the  older  settlers,  and 
measures  were  immediately  taken  to  prevent  such  a  result.  The 
friends  of  the  government  seem  to  have  been  the  strongest  and 
most  energetic.  They  select  Mr.  Thomas  Jenner,  a  recent  emi- 
grant to  Dorchester,  and  invite  him  to  take  the  field  in  opposition, 
which  he  was  veiy  ready  to  do,  for  we  find  him  here  the  year 
following.  Success  appears  to  have  followed  the  movement,  for 
Mr.  Hull  virtually  retires  from  the  contest,  as  the  records  show 
him  in  1636  and  1637  as  a  candidate  for  the  ministerial  position 
in  other  places,  and  soon,  with  a  sufficiently  permanent  location 
in  the  neighboring  town  of  Hingham,  to  become  its  deputy  to  the 
General  Court.  Still  he  does  not  appear  to  have  wholly  relin- 
quished his  claim  to  the  Weymouth  pulpit,  for  it  was  not  until 
1639  tliat  he  preached  his  farewell  sermon. 

"The  jealousy  of  the  original  settlers  of  any  authority  below 
the  Crown,  outside  of  their  own  patent,  may  have  prevented  as 
close  an  intimacy  with  the  neighboring  plantations  as  would  other- 
wise have  existed;  and  this  would  furnish  a  reason  why  it  is  so 
seldom  mentioned  by  them  in  connection  with  their  own  affairs. 
However  this  may  be,  the  authority  of  the  colonial  government 
was  gradually  extended  over  the  settlement,  and  the  people  sub- 
mitted with  the  best  grace  they  could,  but  not  without  an  occa- 
sional exhibition  of  the  old  spirit  by  way  of  protest.  The  town 
was  reorganized,  its  name  changed,  and  the  privilege  of  a  deputy 
to  the  General  Court  granted  to  it  in  the  summer  and  fall  of  1635. 
At  once  the  three  opposing  elements  show  themselves,  and  the 
little  town  chooses  three  deputies,  instead  of  the  one  to  which  it 
was  entitled.  Capt.  John  Bursley  represents  the  original  settlers, 
Mr.  Wm.  Reade  those  who  favor  the  colonial  government,  while 
Mr.  John  Upham  is  the  selection  of  the  Hull  emigrants,  and,  as 
has  been  the  case  in  some  later  days,  the  patronage  of  the  ruling 
power  proves  the  most  powerful,  and  Mr.  Reade  retains  his  seat, 
while  his  t.'O  competitors  quietly  retire."

So  much  of  these  early  troubles  at  Weymouth  as  it  appears 
John  Upham  was  identified  with,  have  been  shown,  but  the  record 
of  this  will  not  be  continued.  This  at  least  indicates  the  condition 
of  affairs  with  the  Hull  company,  as  well  as  the  standing  of  John 
Upham  among  those  who  must  have  known  him  best  at  that  time. 

The  following  is  a  transcript  from  the  Weymouth  records: 
"  1636.  At  a  meeting  in  the  town  of  Weymouth,  holden  the  12  of 
June,  Voted,  That  for  the  great  lotts  we  should  lott  unto  every 
compleate  person  six  acres,  and  tc  every  half  passenger  under 
twelve  years  of  age,  to  have  three  to  a  head.  By  all  the  freemen 
here  present  whose  names  are  under  written.  And  the  place  to 
begin  is  at  the  lower  end  of  the  fresh  pond  and  to  run  eighty  four 
Rodd  eitherwards  to  the  great  plantation  lotts."

In  this  list  those  having  the  prefix  of  Mr.  to  their  names  were

been  such. 

The  following  is  from  Weymouth  town  records,  page  28. 
"  The  Lands  of  John  Upham." 

"  Fower  acres  in  Kingoak  hill  first  given  to  himselfe,  bounded

These  records  for  the  years  1635-6. 

"  King-oak  Hill,"  mentioned  above,  is  a  sightly,  beautiful  hill 
overlooking  Boston  Bay.  "  Berrying  Island  "  has  a  history;  Wey- 
mouth was  the  second  settlement  in  the  colony,  next  after  Ply- 
mouth. The  first  settlers  have  not  been  held  in  the  highest  repute 
— whether  justly  so  or  not,  but  they  came  there  nevertheless.  They 
landed  upon  this  "  burying  island,"  and  lived  upon  it,  and  near  to 
it,  in  1622-3.  They  had  trouble  with  the  Indians,  and  Miles 
Standish  came  from  Plymouth  to  save  them;  the  story  of  his  march 
is  historical.  This  company  no  doubt  lived  very  near  upon  what 
was  afterward  the  land  of  John  Up^am. 

It  is  probable  that  the  differences  among  the  residents  at  Wey- 
mouth were  adjusted  in  some  way,  for  the  May  after  the  Hull 
colony  came,  in  1636;  John  Upham  was  elected  representative  to 
the  General  Court,  as  appears  from  the  records  of  the  same,  vol. 
I,  page  128;  this  court  holden  in  Boston.  He  was  also  elected 
representative  to  the  sec^.  nd  term  of  the  court  for  the  same  j'ear; 
but  on  petition  was  allowed  to  remain  at  home,  as  appears  on 
page  133  of  the  same  record. 

The  same  volume  shows  that  for  both  terms  of  the  General 
Court  for  1637,  and  for  the  first  term  for  1638,  held  at  Newton, 
he  was  one  of  the  deputies  from  Weymouth.  He  was  also  deputy 
for  1639,  and  on  the  "5  day  of  the  9th  month  "  of  the  same  year 
he  "  was  appointed  to  be  in  the  place  of  Mr.  Parker,  who  is  gone 
to  England,  to  order  small  business  in  the  town  of  Weymouth." 

In  1640  his  oldest  son  died,  he  who  came  from  England,  and  is 
mentioned  in  the  passenger  list  as  aged  seven;  which  fact  appears 
by  the  following  record  of  births,  deaths,  etc.,  in  the  City  Com- 
missioner's office,  Boston,  Liber  I,  p.  67,  viz.: 

"Weymouth." 
"John  Upham,  sonne  of  John  Upham,  buried  sd.  4m,  1640." 


The  following  pleading  was  evidently  drawn  in  November,  1640, 
and  is  from  a  "  Note-Book  kept  by  Thomas  Lechford,  Esq.,  Law- 
yer," etc.,  1638-1641  (p.  338,  MS.  p.  187).

(Note. — "I  cannot  find  that  this  petition  of  Richard  Lang  was 
ever  acted  upon.  John  Upham  and  William  Smith  were  both 
commissioners  for  Weymouth,  and  also  deputies,  and  Warren  and 
Sylvester  were  both  well-known  men ;  so  it  is  probable  that  the 
matter  was  passed  over.)  " 

In  1642,  John  Upham  was  one  of  the  six  who  treated  with  the 
Indians  for  the  lands  at  Weymouth,  and  obtained  a  title  from 
them  thereto ;  concerning  which  Mr.  Nash  says  :

Upham  Genealogy. 


"  The  original  settlers  at  Wessaguscus,  or  Weymouth,  were  what 
would  now  be  termed  '  squatters,'  and  their  titles  simply  those  of 
possession,  the  real  owners  being  the  Indians,  whose  rights  were 
general  and  not  individual.  The  English  titles  were  vested  in  gov- 
ernmental grants  to  the  large  companies  like  the  Plymouth,  the 
Gorges  and  the  Massachusetts  Bay.  These  early  settlers  came  into 
the  territory  of  Wessaguscus  before  it  was  fairly  in  the  possession 
of  either  company,  consequently  they  could  only  acquire  such  a 
title  as  the  native  holders  could  give  them,  to  be  confirmed  by 
later  authority,  whatever  that  might  be.  Weymouth  extinguished 
the  Indian  title  to  its  territory  by  purchase ;  the  deed  bearing 
date  26th  April,  1642,  was  executed  by  the  resident  chiefs,  who 
sign  themselves  Wampetuc,  alias  Jonas  Webacowett,  Nateaunt  and 
Nahawton,  and  is  recorded  among  the  Suffolk  Deeds.  Nateaunt's 
beach  and  probable  camping  ground  was  at  the  foot  of  Great  Hill, 
in  North  Weymouth.  The  town  was  therefore  now  in  position  to 
confirm  the  planters  in  their  possessions,  and  the  existence  of  the 
list  of  possessions -made  soon  after,  seems  to  indicate  that  this  was 
done." 

In  1643  John  Upham  is  mentioned  as  one  of  the  selectmen  ;  and 
in  1644,  power  was  given  him  by  the  General  Court  in  connection 
with  two  others,  to  "  end  small  causes  at  Weymouth." 

His  name  is  subscribed  to  the  doings  of  the  town,  as  one  of  the 
selectmen,  for  the  years  1645,  1646,  and  1647.  The  last  entry  of 
this  kind  to  which  his  name  is  signed  (p.  16,  Weymouth  Town 
Records,  vol.  I),  is  dated  the  21st  day  of  the  twelfth  month,  1647; 
and  there  is  no  doubt  that  he  remained  in  Weymouth  until  the  year 
1648. 

During  the  next  two  years  there  has  been  no  record  of  him  found. 
But  it  is  certftin  that  at  sometime  between  1648  and  1650,  he  re- 
moved from  Weymouth  to  Maiden,  having  been  a  resident  of  Wey- 
mouth, and  connected  with  its  affairs,  for  thirteen  years  or  more. 

This  removal  probably  took  place  in  1648 ;  for  in  that  year  it 
appears  "  the  town  of  Maiden  was  built  on  the  north  side  of  the 
Mystic  river,  by  several  persons  from  Charlestown,  who  gathered 
themselves  into  a  church."  He  must  have  been  a  resident  of  Mai-

den  as  early  as  1650,  for  the  reason  that  a  petition  was  signed  by 
him  as  a  selectman  of  Maiden,  dated  the  sad  day  of  the  first 
month,  1651 ;  and  it  may  be  assumed  that  as  he  was  a  selectman 
so  early  in  that  year,  he  must  have  been  an  inhabitant  certainly 
as  early  as  the  year  1650. 

The  reason  why  he  left  Weymouth  has  never  been  discovered. 
The  town  records  of  Maiden,  previous  to  1678,  have  been  lost,  and 
we  are  thus  deprived  of  a  great  source  of  information  concerning 
him  for  the  thirty  years  of  his  life  between  1648  and  1678.  Still, 
something  has  been  learned  concerning  him  during  these  years 
from  other  sources. 

Besides  his  signature  as  selectman  in  1651,  as  above  noted,  it  is 
also  found  where  he  was  a  witness  to  a  document,  by  which  the 
bounds  of  Charlestown  and  Maiden  were  established. 

In  1652  no  mention  has  been  found  of  him  except  that  a  deed 
was  signed  in  his  presence ;  though  he  was  probably  selectman 
that  year,  as  he  signed  a  petition  as  such  in  the  year  following,  1653. 
Sometime  about  1654,  he,  with  some  others  at  Maiden,  seems  to 
have  incurred  the  displeasure  of  the  General  Court;  the  offense 
being  the  electing  of  their  own  minister,  without  consulting  the 
other  churches.  The  General  Court  Records,  Liber  II,  p.  273, 
have  this:  "In  answer  to  the  petition  of  Joseph  Hill,  Abraham 
Hill,  John  Waite,  John  Sprague,  Ralph  Shepherd,  John  Upham, 
James  Green,  Thomas  Call,  in  which  they  humbly  acknowledge  the 
offence  they  gave  to  the  court  and  several  churches  about  the  ordi- 
nation of  Mr.  Matthews,  &c.  And  therein  also  craving  a  remit- 
ment  of  j^t^  6s  8d,  part  of  a  fine  not  yet  satisfied,  the  court  doth 
well  approve,  and  accept  of  the  petitioners'  acknowledgment  of 
their  irregular  actings  in  those  times;  but  understanding  that  much, 
if  not  most,  of  the  fine  being  paid  for,  and  the  rest  is  secured,  of 
that  should  long  since  have  been  paid  in,  they  see  not  cause  to 
grant  their  request  in  that." 

In  the  year  1655,  sixth  month,  his  signature  appears  among  the 
selectmen  at  Maiden;  and  in  1656,  his  name  is  mentioned  as  a 
witness  to  a  deed  only. 

In  1657,  he,  with  two  other  persons,  was  appointed  a  commis- 


44 


Upham  Genealooy. 


sioner  by  the  Supreme  Court,  "  for  ending  small  cases  at  Maiden 
for  one  year  ensuing."  His  name  is  also  appended  to  an  inven- 
tory taken  by  him  the  eighth  month  of  the  year  1657. 

In  1658,  in  September,  another  inventory  has  his  name  appended; 
and  his  name  is  also  signed  as  a  witness  to  a  deed  drawn  up  the 
same  year. 

April  5,  1659,  he  was  again  appointed  commissioner  for  Maiden 
by  the  Supreme  Court;  and  also  executor  of  the  will  of  Richard 
Webb,  and  guardian  of  his  son. 

In  1660  another  inventory  was  taken  by  him. 

June  25,  i66i,  he  was  again  appointed  commissioner  by  the 
Supreme  Court;  and  in  the  same  year  his  name  is  signed  to  an  in- 
ventory drawn  by  him.  June  17,  1662,  he  was  reappointed 
commissioner  by  the  Supreme  Court;  also  chosen  as  one  of  the 
grand  jurors  that  year. 

No  mention  of  his  name  is  found  in  the  records  for  the  year 
1663;  and  for  several  years  after,  the  information  which  might 
have  been  obtained  from  the  Supreme  Court  Records  is  lost  — 
Liber  2  having  been  destroyed  by  fire. 

In  1664,  there  is  a  conveyance  of  land  to  John  Upham,  and  one 
from  John  Upham  to  his  son  Phineas.  The  year  following  his 
name  appears  as  a  witness  to  a  deed;  and  in  1666,  an  inventory 
was  taken  by  him.  But  in  1667  there  is  nothing  on  record  con- 
cerning him. 

In  1668,  an  answer  was  returned  to  a  petition  presented  to  the 
General  Court  by  John  Upham  and  others,  in  behalf  of  the  town 
of  Maiden;  his  name  also  appears  appended  to  an  inventory  drawn 
up  by  himself  that  year.  In  the  next  year  there  is  nothing.  In 
1670,  he  conveyed  land  to  his  son  Phineas. 

In  167 1,  Book  7,  p.  224,  Suffolk  Deeds,  has  the  following  record: 

"John  Upham  —  know  all  whom  it  may  concern  That  whereas 
there  is  a  consummation  of  marriage  intended  between  me  John 
Upham,  Sen.  of  Maiden  in  New  England  and  Katherine  HoUard

That  this  marriage  was  actually  consummated,  the  following 
imperfect  record  seems  to  indicate: 

" Marriages  in  Maiden." 

"John  Upham  and Hollie,  6m.  '71."     That   is  August, 

1671,  the  year  old  style,  commencing  in  March. 

Without  doubt,  this  is  the  "  Katheryn,"  wife  of  Angell  "  Hol- 
lard,"  who  is  numbered  84  on  the  list  of  passengers  from  England 
in  the  Hull  company. 

In  1672,  there  is  a  record  of  an  inventory  drawn  up  by  him,  but 
nothing  of  John  Upham  in  1673.  In  1674,  there  is  the  record  of 
another  inventory  made  by  him;  but  for  the  next  three  years  — 
167s,  '76,  and  '77,  there  is  nothing  on  record  of  him.  Subsequent 
to  this  period,  the  town  records  of  Maiden  are  extant,  from  which 
it  is  learned  that  "  Deacon  John  Upham  "  was  moderator  of  the 
several  town  meetings  for  the  years  1678,  1678-9,  1679,  1679-80  ; 
the  last  of  which  occurred  on  the  2d.  Im.  1679-80,  March  2, 1680. 

John  Upham  is  mentioned  in  Lincoln's  History  of  Worcester  — 
p.  29  —  as  one  of  those  interested  in  the  settlement  of  Worcester 
in  1678.  His  will  has  not  been  found,  and  the  foregoing  mention 
embrace  all  the  public  notes  which  have  been  discovered  concern- 
ing him. 

The  only  mention  of  his  wife  Elizabeth  that  has  been  found.

as  follows:  July  2,  1662;  one  in  1664;  and  the  last,  the  2d 
of  December,  1670.  There  is  no  record  of  her  death  which 
has  been  found;  she  must  have  lived  to  reach  the  age  of  67 
at  all  events,  and  she  must  have  died  at  some  time  between 
Dec.  2,  T670, —  the  date  of  the  last  notice  of  her, —  and  Aug. 
14,  1671,  the  date  on  which  John  Upham  appears  to  be  about 
contracting  the  marriage  with  Katherine  Hollard. 

Concerning  John  Upham's  son  Nathaniel,  who  is  first  men- 
tioned as  age  5,  in  the  passenger  list  from  England,  there  is  the 
following  information:  He  is  afterward  mentioned  on  the  4d. 
2mo.,  1654;  and  next  Dec.  i,  1656;  and  in  both  these  cases  his 
name  is  mentioned  in  connection  with  that  of  his  father,  they  as 
witnesses  that  certain  testators  are  in  sound  mind,  in  fit  condition 
to  dispose  of  property,  etc.;  then  at  his  marriage,  viz.: 

"  Marriages  at  Cambridge. " 
"  Nathaniel  Upham  and  Elizabeth  Steadman,  married  March 
5th,  1661-2."     Immediately  after  which  is  found  the  record  of 
his  death. 

"  Deaths  at  Cambridge." 
"  Nathaniel  Upham,  March  ye  20th,  166 1-2." 
He  appears  to  have  been  a  minister.     It  is  recorded  in  the  Rox- 
bury  church  chronicles,  that  in  "  March,  1661,  Mr.  Upham,  who 
sometimes  preached  in  Maiden,  died  in  Cambridge."    That  he 
was  a  minister,  also  appears  to  be  evident  from  the  following  ex- 
tract taken  "from  the  inventory  of  his  goods  and  chattels: 
"By  13  bands  and  10  pair  of  band  strings, 
By  a  parcel  of  books  of  Mr.  Brooks, 
By  another  parcel  of  books. 
By  a  parcel  of  Latin  books. 
By  a  citherr  and  case  to  it." 
That  he  was  the  person  who  married  Elizabeth  Steadman,  and 
the  son  of  Deacon  John  Upham,  of  Maiden,  is  proven  by  a  deed, 
soon  after  executed  by  John  Upham,  and  of  which  the  following 
is  an  extract:  "and  especially  for  the  dear  love  and  affection  I

have  unto  my  beloved  daughter,  Elizabeth  Upham,  the  relict 
widow  of  my  son,  Nathaniel  Upham,  deceased,  have  given,"  etc. 
Dated  July  2,  1662.  There  was  no  issue  from  this  marriage;  and 
the  widow  married  Henry  Thompson,  in  1669.  The  records  of 
the  General  Court  show  that  Nathaniel  Upham  was  made  freeman 
on  the  23d  of  May,  1655;  which  would  agree  with  the  age  of  the 
Rev.  Nathaniel,  who  would  accordingly  have  been  thirty-one 
years  old  at  the  time  of  his  death.  It  is  possible  that  the  23d  of 
May  was  his  birthday,  and  that  he  was  born  in  the  year  1629-30, 
on  that  date,  in  England;  and  if  so,  the  fact  may  be  useful  here- 
after in  trying  to  trace  the  origin  of  the  family. 

The  next  one  of  the  children  of  John  Upham  was  Elizabeth, 
mentioned  in  the  passenger  list  as  age  3,  in  1635.  Mr.  Wyman 
records  that  she  was  the  widow  of  Thomas  Welch,  that  she  had 
thirteen  childien  and  died  January  12,  1705-6. 

This  accounts  for  all  the  children  mentioned  in  the  passenger 
list.  It  may  be  observed  that  thirty  acres  of  land  were  granted  to 
John  Upham  at  Weymouth,  on  the  12th  of  June,  1636;  and  from 
the  number  of  acres  which  were  allotted  to  each  "  passenger,"  and 
"  half  passenger,"  it  would  appear  that  there  must  at  that  time 
have  been  one  more  child  than  is  mentioned  in  the  passenger  list. 
The  next  child  in  the  family  is  known  to  have  been  Phineas,  or 
"  Phinehas  "  and  "  Phynehas,"  as  the  name  is  found  to  have  been 
differently  spelled.  There  is  evidence  which  will  be  noted  Idter, 
showing  that  he  was  probably  born  in  1635.  He  may  have  been 
born  while  on  the  voyage  from  England,  or  he  may  have  been 
born  shortly  after  the  arrival  of  the  family  in  New  England;  he 
must  have  been  born  between  the  date  on  which  the  passenger 
list  was  made  out,  and  the  date  of  the  land  grant  at  Weymouth. 
It  has  generally  been  assumed  that  he  was  born  at  Weymouth,  and 
very  soon  after  the  arrival  there.  It  has  also  been  suggested  that 
the  scriptural  significance  of  the  name  Phinehas,  "  the  peace  of 
God,"  may  have  indicated  the  feelings  of  peace  and  thankfulness, 
which  followed  the  safe  arrival  in  America,  and  so  have  been 
given  to  the  first  born  in  the  New  World.  An  account  of  this 
Phineas  will  be  given  later.

There  were  also  two  daughters,  born  in  this  country;  Mary  and 
Priscilla;  according  to  the  record  of  Mr.  Wyman,  Mary  was  the 
first  wife  of  John  Whittemore,  and  died  June  27,  1677,  having  six 
children;  Priscilla  was  the  wife  of  Thomas  Crosswell,  and  died  a 
widow  in  17 17,  having  twelve  children.  Her  gravestone  records 
the  age  of  Priscilla  Croswell  as  75,  and  the  date  of  her  death  as 
Dec.  8,  1 7 17;  this  would  make  her  birth  in  1643. 

It  also  appears  that  John  Upham  had  an  adopted  son,  whose 
name  was  John,  as  is  shown  by  the  following  record,  dated  June 
19,  t66o,  viz.: 

"  John  Upham,  of  Maiden,  presenting  to  this  court  his  request, 
referring  to  a  lad  12  years  of  age,  called  John  Upham,  who  being 
about  8  years  since  brought  from  the  Island  of  Barbadoes  father- 
less and  friendless,  was  by  the  magistrates  committed  to  the  said 
Upham's  care  and  provision,  he  receiving  with  him  only  to  the  sum 
of  j£t,  an  inventory  whereof  he  sayeth  he  then  exhibited  upon  the 
registry  at  Cambridge.  This  court  considering  the  premises, 
with  the  consent  of  the  said  John  Upham,  Jr.,  being  present  in 
court,  do  order,"  etc.,  etc. 

This  was  probably  the  John  Upham  who  was  admitted  freeman 
in  1688,  as  at  that  time  he  would  have  been  about  twenty-one 
years  of  age. 

The  end  of  this  adopted  son,  as  shown  by  p.  55,  Middlesex 
Wills,  Liber  5,  was  as  follows:  "  John  Upham,  of  Charlestown, 
being  weak  in  body,  but  of  good  understanding,  he  desired  that 
God  would  be  merciful  to  his  soul.  He  desired  me,  John  Mou- 
sell,  to  see  him  decently  interred,  and  to  look  after  his  estate  for 
my  daughter  Elizabeth  Mousell,  his  espoused  wife.  He  deceased 
the  25th  of  Nov.  1677.  His  musket  he  gave  to  young  Phineas 
Upham,  son  of  the  Lieutenant." 

His  gravestone,  at  Charlestown,  shows  the  following  record: 

"John  Upham  died  Nov.  25,  1677,  JE.  30."  In  the  record  of 
births  and  deaths,  it  is  stated  that  he  died  of  small-pox. 

John  Upham,  Senior,  died  at  Maiden  on  the  2Sth  of  February, 
1 68 1.  His  gravestone  may  be  still  seen  in  the  old  burying- 
ground  at  Maiden.     It  is  very  near  to  Bell  Rock  Station,  on  the

Saugus  branch  of  the  Boston  and  Maine  Railroad,  Eastern  Division. 
There  are  gravestones  of  several  of  his  descendants,  and  name, 
also  to  be  seen  there,  in  a  fair  state  of  preservation.  A  street  has 
been  cut  through  a  part  of  the  ground,  and  it  is  probable  that 
some  of  these  graves  have  been  obliterated  in  this  way.  The 
stone  which  marks  the  grave  of  John  Upham  has  the  following 
inscription: 

"  Here  Lyes  the  body  of  John  Upham,  Aged  84,  died 
Feb.  25,  1681." 

As  already  mentioned  he  was  probably  81,  rather  than  84,  at 
his  death. 

Dr.  Albert  G.  Upham,  in  the  "  Notices  of  John  Upham,  and 
his  Descendants,"  pays  the  following  tribute  to  his  memory;  a 
literal  copy  of  which  is  here  reproduced.  In  reading  it  it  may  be 
well  to  remember  that  it  was  written  in  1845,  and  that  Dr.  Upham 
wrote  without  the  benefit  of  the  information  which  has  since  been 
obtained  with  reference  to  the  Hull  colony,  and  which  appears  in 
the  previous  pages  of  this  book.  It  is  possible  that  this  additional 
knowledge  might  have  made  some  slight  difference  —  had  he  pos- 
sessed it  —  in  his  references  to  the  age  of  John  Upham,  and  per- 
haps some  other  matters. 

"  The  character  of  John  Upham  appears  in  a  clear  light  from 
the  facts  recorded  in  the  preceding  pages.  At  the  age  of  38, 
within  fifteen  years  of  the  first  settlement  of  Plymouth,  he  sought 
an  asylum  for  himself  and  family  in  this  country.  We  thus  see 
him  in  early  manhood  exhibiting  his  energy  of  character,  and 
the  clearness  and  vigor  of  his  intellectual  powers,  in  the  act  of  re- 
signing kindred,  friends  and  country,  for  God  and  liberty.  In 
this  great  act  his  spirit  bears  witness  of  itself.  In  addition  to  this, 
we  find  him,  on  his  arrival  here,  approved  by  his  countrymen,  as 
he  was  the  same  year  chosen  a  delegate  to  their  highest  Assembly, 
and  for  six  different  sessions  continued  their  representative,  when 
fearless  piety,  integrity  and  wisdom  were  regarded  as  essential  to 
office.  On  his  removal  to  Maiden,  thirteen  years  afterwards,  he 
7

became  at  once,  and  continued  through  life,  a  leading  citizen  of 
that  town,  and  was  repeatedly  elected  to  various  offices  in  their 
gift.  The  General  Assembly  also  manifest  a  corresponding  confi- 
dence in  him,  by  appointing  him  six  time  Commissioner  to  settle 
the  lesser  legal  matters  of  Weymouth  and  Maiden. 

"  During  the  short  period  that  the  town  records  are  extant,  it 
appears  that  he  was  eight  years  selectman,  and  three  years  moder- 
ator of  the  town  meetings.  He  was  a  commissioner  to  treat  with 
the  Indians,  and  was  a  pioneer,  not  only  in  the  first  settlement  of 
Weymouth  and  Maiden,  but  actively  interested  in  the  settlement 
of  Worcester. 

"  It  will  likewise  be  seen,  from  the  frequency  with  which  he  was 
called  to  settle  estates,  and  to  manage  the  affairs  of  widows  and 
orphans,  that  he  was  esteemed  a  man  of  carefulness  and  kindness 
in  the  discharge  of  those  important  trusts. 

"Finally,  the  Church,  in  a  highly  religious  community,  setteth 
its  seal  the  seal  of  her  testimony  upon  him,  by  selecting  him  for 
the  office  of  Deacon, —  which  office  he  held  for  at  least  twenty- 
four  years. 

"  His  sons  he  educated  for  the  service  of  his  country:  the  one 
became  a  minister  of  the  gospel,  the  other  an  officer  in  the  army. 
In  all  his  domestic  relations  there  is  reason  to  believe  him  a  man 
esteemed  and  beloved. 

"  Nature  seems  to  have  endowed  him  with  a  vigorous  constitu- 
tion; for,  at  the  age  of  83,  but  a  few  months  before  his  decease,  he 
discharged  the  laborious  duties  of  moderator,  thus  showing  that 
he  enjoyed  at  that  time  full  activity  of  mind  and  body. 

"We  need  only  add  that,  through  his  long  life,  matured  by  an 
experience  of  thirty-eight  years  in  England,  and  forty-six  in  this 
country,  in  times  which  drew  largely  on  the  intellect  and  energy 
of  men,  he  appears  to  have  sustained  himself  well,  as  a  strongman 
and  respected  citizen,  and  to  have  been  in  efficient  co-laborer 
among  those  who,  in  times  of  peril,  laid  the  foundations  of  a  free 
State.

AT  THE  GRAVE  OF  OUR  ANCESTOR. 


The  foUowinK  lines  are  from  the  pen  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  James  Upham,  of  Chelsea,  Mass. 
(No.  383,  in  the  series  of  heads  of  families) : 

We  come,  O  common  father, 

To  lay  our  tribute  here, 
A  living  band  of  pilgrims, 

That  hold  thy  memory  dear.  ' 

From  •eastern  coast  to  western 

We  bear  thy  honored  name. 
While  countless  now  in  heaven 

Bore  and  revered  the  same. 

The  cc/mmon  blood  within  us 

We  prize  with  lofty  pride. 
Nor  envy  royal  kinship 

Or  royal  wealth  beside. 

But  thy  whole  noble  manhood 

At  higher  price  we  rate  — 
Thystl/,  so  pure  and  honest. 

In  home  and  church  and  State. 

We  rise  and  call  thee  blessed 

With  grateful,  filial  love, 
And  hope  thy  steps  to  follow 

To  the  great  home  above.        1 

Ho,  to  our  coming  brothers 

As  the  long  ageo  move  I 
Ye  have  a  wortliy  sire, 

Let  none  unworthy  prove.

Jambs  Upham, 


LIEUTENANT  PHINEAS  UPHAM. 


2.  Lieutenant  Phineas  Upham  (John),  of  Maiden,  Mass., 
was  the  only  son  of  John  Upham  that  left  posterity;  consequently 
he,  as  well  as  his  father,  was  the  ancestor  of  all  the  American  Up- 
hams.  He  has  always  been  known  as  Lieutenant  Phineas,  for  the 
reason  that  he  held  that  rank,  and  rendered  important  service  in 
the  Indian  war  with  King  Philip,  as  will  be  later  shown.  It  is 
probably  safe  to  conclude  —  for  reasons  already  given  —  that  he 
was  born  in  1635,  and  at  Weymouth;  besides  the  reasons  men- 
tioned>  it  also  appears  that  on  the  21st  of  December,  167 1,  while 
giving  his  testimony  before  a  civil  magistrate,  he  stated  his  age  as 
thirty-six;  all  these  facts  would  establish  his  birth  at  some  date  in 
the  year  1635,  though  no  record  of  it  has  been  found. 

The  following  is  a  record  of  his  marriage,  which  appears  to  have 
taken  place  when  he  was  twenty- three  years  of  age,  and  on  the  14th 
of  April,  1658,  as  per  Middlesex  Wills,  Liber  I,  p.  24,  viz.: 

"Marriages  in  Maiden." 
"Phineas  Upham  and  Ruth  Wood,  14  d.  2  m.  '58, —  by  me, 
Richard  Russell." 

In  1663,  the  records  at  Maiden  show  that  a  lot  of  land  was  con- 
veyed to  him;  also  that  there  was  another  lot  of  land  conveyed  to 
him  in  1664.  In  1688  he  was  appointed  an  appraiser  of  a  certain 
piece  of  property.  In  167 1  a  deposition  was  taken  by  him,  on  the 
2ist  of  December  —  already  referred  to,  viz.: 

"  I  Phineas  Upham,  aged  36,  testify  and  say,  that  sometime  in  the 
7  month  of  this  year,  I  being  occasionally  with  our  select  men,  and

they  having  called  John  Pemberton  before  them,  did  reprove  him 
for  mis-spending  his  time,  and  for  other  misdemeanors,"  etc.  He 
was  constable  for  that  year.  In  the  next  year,  1672,  there  was 
another  conveyance  of  land  to  him. 

In  1673  he  was  appointed  with  three  others  to  survey  a  road  from 
Cambridge  to  Maiden.  In  1674  his  name  is  signed  to  two  inven- 
tories made  by  him,  and  to  a  petition  in  regard  to  lands  in  Worces- 
ter; he  was  also  on  a  committee  to  alter  highways,  in  April  of  that 
year. 

As  early  as  1672,  he  was  interested  in  the  settlement  of  the  town 
of  Worcester,  which  fact  appears  from  the  following  extract  from 
Lincoln's  History  of  Worcester : 

"  A  lot  granted  to  Phineas  Upham,  July  8th,  1673,  was  now  de- 
scribed and  located;  and  although  it  should  contain  more  than 
fifty  acres,  yet  the  committee  have  confirmed  it  to  him  for  a  fifty 
icre  lot,  moie  or  less;  and  this  they  did,  upon  a  rule  of  equity,  in 
consideration  of  the  labor,  travel  and  activity  of  the  said  Upham, 
from  time  to  time,  in  furthering,  advancing  and  encouraging  the 
settlement  of  the  plantation. 

"  In  April,  1675,  the  lot  of  fifty  acres,  granted  to  Phineas  Up- 
ham, of  Maiden,  was  surveyed,  confirmed  and  recorded,  and  it 
was  described  as  lying  in  the  west  squadron,  or  division,  on  the 
south  side  of  the  country  road." 

The  author  of  the  History  of  Worcester,  in  speaking  of  the 
progress  of  that  settlement,  states  that  "  Ephraim  Curtis,  who  had 
already  built;  Thomas  Hall,  Simon  Meyling,  Phineas  Upham,"  etc., 
"had  arrived  in  the  month  of  April,  1765."  It  seems,  however, 
that  in  June  of  that  year  —  as  per  the  Supreme  Court  Records  — 
Phineas  Upham  was  one  of  the  jury  for  trials  in  the  court  held  at 
Charlestown. 

About  this  time  he  must  have  received  a  commission  as  a  lieu- 
tenant, though  the  record  of  his  appointment  has  not  been  found. 
He  certainly  held  that  rank  as  early  as  September,  1675,  which  is 
proven  by  the  following  extract  from  a  postscript  of  a  letter  to 
Major  John  Pynchon,  dated  Sept.  4,  1675:

"  Sir:  We  have  ordered  Lieut.  Upham  to  lead  up  to  you  thirty 
men;  and  do  farther  order  that  Lieut.  Seill  be  dismissed  home  to 
his  family,  and  his  soldiers  to  make  up  ye  companies  as  the  chief 
commander  shall  order,  and  the  above  named  Lieut.  Upham  to 
be  under  Captain  Wayte."     (Military  Records,  Liber  I,  p.  280.) 

He  could  not  have  been  for  a  very  long  time  under  the  command 
of  Captain  Wayte,  for  twenty  days  later  —  on  the  24th  of  Septem- 
ber, the  same  year  —  he  was  on  his  march  into  the  Nipmuck  coun- 
try, in  company  with  Captain  Gorham,  one  of  the  Plymouth  offi- 
cers. The  account  of  this  expedition  is  contained  in  a  letter  from 
Lieut.  Upham,  on  file  in  the  Military  Records,  Lib.  I,  p.  276,  viz.: 

"  From  Mendon,  ye  ist  of  Octobr,  1675. 

"  Honor'd  Gouvner  and  Counsill, 

"  These  are  to  certify  to  your  worships  that  Capt.  Gorum  with 
myself,  and  our  soldiers  of  both  companies  are  in  good  health  at 
prest.  through  mercy;  and  to  give  your  honors  an  account  of  our 
severall  marches:  First,  we  marched  to  Mendon  on  the  sixth  day 
of  the  week  at  night,  being  the  24th  of  Sept.;  and,  on  the  2Sth  day, 
we  marched  from  Mendon  in  to  Hassanamissit,  (now  Grafton,) 
hoping  there  to  have  had  an  Indian  for  our  guide,  but  the  Indians 
were  all  gone  from  thence,  and  we  were  thereby  disappointed  of 
our  expectations;  and  on  the  next  day  we  marched  unto  Paka- 
choug,  (now  Worcester,)  where  we  found  a  field  of  good  corn, 
and  well  formed,  which  we  did  think  convenient  not  to  destroy, 
concluding  that,  for  aught  we  knew,  some  of  the  nearest  found  in- 
habitants would  be  willing  to  save  it ;  but  we  could  not  find  any 
Indians,  neither  the  sign  of  any  being  there  of  late,  and  we 
marched  from  thence  unto  Manchang  (now  Oxford),  and  Cha- 
banamagum  (now  Dudley),  where  we  found  some  cornfields  and 
some  wigwams,  which  corn  and  wigwams  we  burnt  and  destroyed, 
but  could  not  find  our  enemies,  which  was  a  great  discouragement 
to  us,  having  taken  so  much  pains  to  find  them.  Then  we  returned 
and  marched  to  an  Indian  plantation  called  Shockologaud,  where 
we  could  not  find  any  Indians,  but  found  a  quantity  of  good  corn, 
which  we  did  not  destroy,  but  reserved  it  at  the  request  of  some

of  Mendon,  who  thought  to  fetch  it  home  for  their  own  use,  and 
from  thence  we  came  to  Mendon  on  the  30th  of  Sept. 

"  Now,  seeing  in  all  our  marches  we  find  no  Indians,  we  verily 
think  they  are  drawn  together  into  great  bodies  far  remote 
from  these  parts.  If  your  honors  please  to  send  us  on  any  farther 
service,  I  hope  we  shall  not  be  unwilling,  but  forward  to  do  our 
uttermost  endeavors,  withall  desiring  that  you  should  be  pleased 
to  add  to  our  numbers,  seeing  that  besides  the  garrison  men  which 
must  be  left  here  in  the  garrison,  we  have  but  thirty  men  besides 
myself,  —  Capt.  Gorum  being  now  on  his  march  to  Mount  Hope, 
and,  if  we  go  farther,  we  desire  we  may  have  a  surgeon,  and  some 
other  that  may  be  acquainted  with  the  woods  where  you  may  send 
us  —  the  want  of  which  has  been  a  discouragement  to  our  men. 

"  And  as  for  the  town  of  Mendon  I  am  desired  to  commend  the 
desolate  condition  of  them  unto  your  honors,  several  of  their 
inhabitants  being  removed  from  them,  and  those  in  garrison 
being  but  poor  helps,  and  in  number  but  twelve  men,  with  their 
arms  very  defective.  The  plantation  is  very  remote,  and  there- 
fore so  much  the  more  stands  in  need  of  help.  It  is  likely  to 
be  a  prosperous  place,  if  it  please  God  to  put  an  issue  to  this 
trouble,  and  therefoie  it  is  more  the  pitty  to  have  it  deserted  by 
the  people,  who  think  it  must  be,  if  they  have  not  some  assist- 
ance. They  hope  that  twenty  men,  well  fitted  with  their  own 
resources,  might  be  sufficient,  if  your  honors  so  cause;  and 
farther,  they  desire  to  acquaint  your  honors  that  ye  Indians  of 
Hassanamissett,  which  your  honors  appointed  to  sit  down  with 
them,  have  deserted  their  own  town,  and  so  came  not  to  Mendon; 
and  so,  not  having  any  more  to  trouble  your  honors  withall,  I  rest, 
"  Your  humble  to  command, 

"  Phineas  Upham,  LefienantP 

From  this  it  is  shown  that  Lieut.  Upham  was  at  Mendon  on  the 
ist  of  October;  and  about  the  9th  of  the  same  month  he  was  with 
Major  Appleton  who  had  just  succeeded  Major  Pynchon  in  the 
command  of  the  Massachusetts  troops,  as  appears  from  the  follow- 
ing from  an  extract  from  a  letter  written  by  that  officer  —  the 
date  and  place  not  given  —  "  Yours  by  Lieut.  Upham  I  received,

as  also  yours  of  the  Oct.  9th,"  etc.  Farther  on  in  the  same  letter 
he  says,  "  there  be  now  come  in  sixty  men  under  Capt.  Pool  and 
Lieut.  Upham,"  etc. 

He  is  again  mentioned  as  one  of  the  signers  to  petition  drawn 
up  by  the  officers  of  the  army,  and  dated  Dec.  4,  1675,  but  the 
place  is  not  stated.  His  name  also  occurs  in  a  letter  dated  in 
November,  1675,  written  by  order  of  the  General  Court  to  Major 
Appleton,  in  which  the  latter  is  reprimanded  for  having  exceeded 
his  authority  by  "  constituting  Mr.  PgjI  to  be  captain  in  the  com- 
pany whereof  Lieut.  Upham  is  Lieutenant."  He  was  assigned  to 
Captain  Johnson's  company  soon  after  this,  as  appears  by  the  fol- 
lowing petition:  "Captain  Johnson  humbly  desires  yt  his  brother, 
Humphrey  Johnson,  (whom  he  pitched  on  for  his  lieutenant,  and 
they,  i.  e.,  the  Court,  choosing  whom  they  pleased,  he  most  readily 
submitted  to  the  Court's  choice  of  Lieut.  Upham),  may  be  dis- 
missed, and  not  suffer  by  his  (encouragement)  that  he  should  be  his 
lieutenant."  From  this  time  he  served  with  Captain  Johnson's 
company. 

The  Rev.  George  M.  Bodge  has  published  an  interesting  account 
of  the  "Soldiers  in  King  Philip's  War,"  in  the  New  England  His- 
torical and  Genealogical  Register,  beginning  in  the  January,  1883, 
number  of  that  publication,  and  extending  through  a  series  of 
many  succeeding  numbers ;  and  in  this  there  are  several  incidental 
references  to  Lieutenant  Upham. 

This  war  began  in  1675,  and  lasted  three  years;  the  first  troops 
being  levied  on  June  24,  1675,  when  the  news  of  the  attack  of 
the  Indians  on  Swansey  reached  Boston.  With  reference  to  the 
preparations  and  march  against  the  Narragansetts,  Mr.  Bodge  says : 
"  After  their  somewhat  disastrous  campaign  of  the  early  autumn  of 
1675  in  the  western  part  of  the  colony  of  Massachusetts,  the  United 
Colonies,  upon  information  that  the  hostile  Indians  with  Philip 
were  retiring  towards  the  south  and  to  winter  quarters  among  the 
Narragansetts,  determined  to  carry  the  war  against  this  powerful 
tribe,  who  for  some  time  had  shown  themselves  actively  hostile. 
The  veteran  troops  were  recalled  and  reorganized;  small  towns  in 
various  parts  of  the  colonies  were  garrisoned,  and  an  army  of  one

thousand  men  was  equipped  for  a  winter  campaign.  General 
Josiah  Winslow,  Governor  of  Plymouth  Colony,  was  appointed 
commander-in-chief  of  the  army;  Major  Samuel  Appleton  to  the 
command  of  the  Massachusetts  regiment,  Major  William  Bradford 
that  of  Plymouth,  and  Major  Robert  Treat  that  of  Connecticut. 
War  was  formally  declared  against  the  Narragansetts  on  the  2d 
of  November,  1675,  in  a  meeting  of  the  Commissioners  of  the 
United  Colonies  held  at  Boston  that  day." 

General  Winslow  assumed  command  of  the  Massachusetts  forces 
on  the  9th  of  December,  1675;  they  were  drawn  up  on  Dedham 
Plain,  where  they  were  formally  delivered  to  him  by  Maj.-Gen. 
Denison.  To  the  soldiers  a  proclamation  was  made  at  the  time 
on  the  part  of  the  Massachusetts  Council,  that  "  if  they  played  the 
man,  took  the  Fort,  and  Drove  the  Enemy  out  of  the  Narragansett 
Country,  which  was  their  seat,  that  they  should  have  a  gratuity 
besides  their  wages.*  "  On  the  afternoon  of  the  same  day  they 
marched  twenty-seven  miles  to  Woodcock's  Garrison  —  now  Attle- 
boro.  In  the  evening  of  Friday,  Dec.  loth,  they  arrived  at  See- 
konk.  From  Seekonk  a  portion  of  the  command  proceeded  by 
water ;  the  rest  of  the  troops  "  ferried  over  the  water  at  Provi- 
dence," and  probably  formed  a  junction  with  the  main  part  of  the 
Plymouth  regiment  at  Providence  on  the  nth.  On  the  12th,  the 
troops  crossed  the  Pautuxet  river,  and  reached  Wickford  on  the 
13th,  where  those  who  had  gone  by  water  from  Seekonk  had  already 
arrived;  the  same  day  one  of  the  companies  captured  36  Indians. 
At  Wickford  there  was  a  garrison  house,  and  on  the  14th,  the  whole 
command,  excepting  one  company  which  was  left  behind  to  keep 
the  garrison,  moved  through  the  neighboring  country  to  the  west- 
ward, where  they  burned  the  village  of  the  sachem  "  Ahmus,"  de- 
stroying 150  wigwams,  killing  7,  and  capturing  9  Indians.  Scout- 
ing in  the  vicinity  was  continued  with  more  or  less  effect  on  the 
day  following.  The  country  through  which  the  troops  passed  seems 
to  have  been  pretty  thoroughly  scouted  by  detachments  from  the 

'Massachusetts  afterward  redeemed  the  promise  made  to  the  soldiers  at  Dedham  Plain, 
and  granted  to  eight  hundred  and  forty  claimants,  including  those  of  Plymouth,  the  seven 
Narragansett  townships.  Connecticut  to  her  troops,  granted  the  town  of  Voluntown  for 
their  services  in  the  Narragansett  wars.

main  command  as  it  moved,  so  that  on  the  15  th,  they  had  cap- 
tured or  killed  in  all  50  persons,  and  had  at  that  time  40  prisoners, 
—  two  days  later  47  captives  were  disposed  of.  On  the  i8th  the 
march  was  resumed,  a  small  garrison  remaining  as  a  guard  to  the 
supplies  at  Wickford,  and  the  troops  reached  Pettisquamscot  in  the 
evening,  where  they  found  the  Connecticut  troops,  who  had  pre- 
ceded them;  these  troops  consisted  of  about  300  Englishmen  and 
15c  Mohegan  Indians.  Here  the  strong  stone  garrison-house  they 
had  hoped  to  occupy,  was  in  ruins,  having  been  recently  destroyed 
by  the  Indians;  a  fact  which  had  been  discovered  the  day  before 
by  Captain  Prentice,  who  had  scouted  the  country  in  that  direc- 
tion with  his  cavalry  troop.  This  was  a  great  disappointment,  and 
increased  the  hardship  they  had  to  endure.  In  a  severe  snow  storm, 
the  whole  force  of  about  one  thousand  men  encamped  in  an  open 
field  through  an  intensely  cold  night.  On  Sunday  morning,  Dec. 
19,  before  day-break,  the  whole  force  moved  toward  the  enemy's 
stronghold,  wading  through  the  snow  fourteen  or  fifteen  inches 
deep. 

The  following  shows  the  organization  of  the  command  as  it 
moved  out  on  that  Sunday  morning.  Mr.  Bodge  —  who  prepared 
it  —  says  it  was  "  gleaned  from  all  available  sources."  He  thinks, 
however,  that  there  were  other  officers  —  principally  medical  offi- 
cers —  who  went  on  to  the  field  that  dav ;  but  their  names  are  not 
attested,  as  these  are,  by  the  accounts  of  the  treasurer.

The  Storming  of  Fort  Canonicus  or  thb  Battle  at  the 
GREAT  Swamp  Fort. 

The  following  is  Mr.  Bodge's  account  of  this  engagement  as  it 
appeared  in  the  New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Regis- 
ter for  January,  1886: 

About  one  o'clock,  p.  m.,  the  army  came  upon  the  enemy  at  the 
edge  of  the  swamp,  in  the  midst  of  which  the  Indian  fortress  was 
built,  the  Massachusetts  regiment  leading  in  the  march,  Plymouth 
next,  and  Connecticut  bringing  up  the  rear.  Of  the  Massachu- 
setts tjioops,  Captains  Mosely  and  Davenport  led  the  van  and  came 
first  upon  the  Indians,  and  immediately  opened  fire  on  them  — 
thus  at  the  beginning  gaining  the  important  advantage  of  the  first 
fire,  which  the  Indians  had  almost  always  gained  and  made  so 
deadly  by  deliberate  volleys  from  ambush,  as  they  doubtless  pur- 
posed now.  The  Indians  returned  the  fire  with  an  ineffectual 
volley,  and  then  fled  into  the  swamp  closely  pursued  by  the  fore- 
most companies,  who  did  not  wait  for  the  word  of  command,  or 
stand  upon  the  "order  of  their  going,"  until  they  reached  the 
fortifications  within  which  the  Indians  hastily  betook  themselves.

This  fort  was  situated  upon  an  island  of  some  five  or  six  acres  in 
the  midst  of  a  cedar  swamp,  which  was  impassable  except  to  the 
Indians  by  their  accustomed  paths,  and  now  made  passable  only 
by  the  severe  cold  of  the  previous  day  and  night.  It  is  probable 
that  the  Indians  depended  principally  on  this  swamp  to  protect 
them,  though  their  defenses  are  described  as  having  been  of  con- 
siderable strength.  A  portion  of  the  high  ground  had  been  in- 
closed, and  from  a  careful  comparison  of  the  most  reliable  ac- 
counts, it  seems  th  >•  the  fortifications  were  well  planned,  probably 
by  the  Englishman,  Joshua  Teffe,  or  Tift,  as  Mr.  Dudley  calls  him. 
Mr.  Hubbard  says:  "The  Fort  was  raised  upon  a  Kind  of  Island 
of  five  or  six  acres  of  risini.  Land  in  the  midst  of  a  swamp ;  the 
sides  of  it  were  made  of  Palisadoes  set  upright,  the  which  was 
compassed  about  with  a  Hedg  of  almost  a  rod  in  Thickness."  A 
cotemporary  writer  (whose  account  was  published  in  London,  and 
is  reprinted  in  Mr.  Drake's  publication  called  the  "  Old  Indian 
Chronicle  ")  says:  "  In  the  midst  of  the  Swamp  was  a  piece  of 
firm  Land,  of  about  three  or  four  Acres,  whereon  the  Indians  had 
built  a  kind  of  a  Fort,  being  palisadoed  round,  and  within  that  a 
clay  Wall,  as  also  felled  down  abundance  of  trees  to  lay  quite 
round  the  said  Fort,  but  they  had  not  quite  finished  their  Work." 
It  is  evident  from  these,  the  only  detailed  accounts,  and  from  some 
casual  references,  that  the  works  were  rude  and  incomplete,  but 
would  have  been  almost  impregnable  to  our  troops  had  not  the 
swamp  been  frozen.  At  the  corners  and  exposed  portions,  rude 
block-houses  and  flankers  had  been  built,  from  which  a  raking 
fire  could  be  poured  upon  an  attacking  force.  Either  by  chance, 
or  by  the  skill  of  Peter,  their  Indian  guide,  the  English  seem  to 
have  come  upon  a  point  of  the  fort  where  the  Indians  did  not  ex- 
pect them.  Mr.  Church,  in  relating  the  circumstances  of  Capt. 
Gardiner's  death,  says  that  he  was  shot  from  that  side  "  next  the 
upland  where  the  English  ente'e '  .he  swamp."  The  place  where 
he  fell  was  at  the  "  east  end  ol  the  fort."  The  tradition  that  the 
English  approached  the  swamp  by  the  rising  land  in  front  of  the 
■'Judge  Merchant"  house,  thus  seems  confirmed.  This  "upland" 
lies  about  north  of  the  battle-field.

Our  van  pursued  those  of  the  enemy  who  first  met  them  so 
closely  that  they  were  led  straight  to  the  entrance  used  by  the 
Indians  themselves,  perhaps  by  their  design  then  to  attract  atten- 
tion from  an  exposed  part  of  their  works  a  short  distance  away. 
The  passage  left  by  the  Indians  for  their  own  use,  as  before  men- 
tioned, was  by  a  long  tree  over  a  "place  of  water,"  across  which 
but  one  man  might  pass  at  a  time,  "and  which  was  so  waylaid 
that  they  would  have  been  cut  off  had  they  ventured."  Mr.  Hub- 
bard counts  among  the  fortunate  circumstances  of  that  day  that 
the  troops  did  not  attempt  to  carry  this  point,  and  that  they  dis- 
covered the  only  assailabK  point  a  little  farther  on.  This  was  at 
a  corner  of  the  fort  where  was  a  large  unfinished  gap,  where 
neither  palisades  nor  abattis,  or  "  hedge,"  had  been  placed,  but  only 
a  long  tree  had  been  laid  across  about  five  feet  from  the  ground, 
to  fill  the  gap,  and  might  be  easily  passed;  only  that  the  block- 
house right  opposite  this  gap  and  the  flankers  at  the  sides  were 
finished,  from  which  a  galling  fire  might  sweep  and  enfilade  the 
passage.  Mr.  Hubbard's  account  is  very  clear  about  this,  yet 
several  writers  have  sadly  confused  matters,  and  describe  the  first 
as  the  point  of  assault. 

It  seems  that  the  companies  of  Captains  Davenport  and  John- 
son came  first  to  the  place,  and  at  once  charged  through  the  gap 
and  over  the  log  at  the  head  of  their  companies,  but  Johnson  fell 
dead  at  the  log,  and  Davenport  a  little  within  the  fort,  and  their 
rnen  were  met  by  so  fierce  a  fire  that  they  were  forced  to  retire 
again  and  fall  upon  their  faces  to  avoid  the  fury  of  the  musketry 
till  it  should  somewhat  abate.  (Captain  Johnson  being  thus 
killed  at  the  very  beginning  of  the  attack,  and  Lieutenant  Upham 
being  next  in  rank  in  that  company,  of  course  the  latter  com- 
manded his  company  from  hat  time,  or  until  he  was  also  wounded. 
—  F.  K.  U.)  Mosely  and  Gardiner,  pressing  to  their  assistance, 
met  a  similar  reception,  losing  heavily,  till  they  too  fell  back  with 
the  others,  until  Major  Appleton  coming  up  with  his  own  and 
C.iptaiu  Oliver's  men,  massed  his  entire  force  as  a  storming 
column,  and  it  is  said  that  the  shout  of  one  of  the  commanders 
that  the  Indians  were  running,  so  inspired  the  soldiers  that  they

made  an  impetuous  assault,  carried  the  entrance  again,  beat  the 
enemy  frum  one  of  his  flankers  at  the  left,  which  afforded  them  a 
temporary  shelter  from  the  Indians  still  holding  the  block-house 
opposite  the  entrance.  In  the  meantime,  the  general,  holding  the 
Plymouth  forces  in  resierve,  pushed  forward  the  Connecticut 
troops,  who  not  being  aware  of  the  extent  of  the  danger  from  the 
block-house,  suffered  fearfully  at  their  first  entrance,  but  charged 
forward  gallantly,  though  some  of  their  brave  officers  and  many  of 
their  comrades  lay  dead  behind  them,  and  unknown  numbers  and 
dangers  before.  The  forces  now  joining  beat  the  enemy  step  by 
step,  and  with  fierce  fighting,  out  of  their  block-houses  and  vari- 
ous fortifications.  Many  of  the  Indians  driven  from  their  works 
fled  outside,  some  doubtless  to  the  wigwams  inside,  of  which  there 
were  said  to  be  upward  of  five  hundred,  many  of  them  large  and 
rendered  bullet-proof  by  large  quantities  of  grain  in  tubs  and  bags 
placed  along  the  sides.  In  these  many  of  their  old  people  and 
their  women  and  children  had  gathered  for  safety,  and  behind  and 
within  these  as  defenses  the  Indians  still  kept  up  a  skulking  fight, 
picking  off  our  men.  After  three  hours'  hard  fighting,  with  many 
of  the  officers  and  men  wounded  or  dead,  a  treacherous  enemy  of 
unknown  numbers  and  resources  lurking  in  the  surrounding  for- 
ests, and  the  night  coming  on,  word  came  to  fire  the  wigwams,  and 
the  battle  became  a  fearful  holocaust,  great  numbers  of  those  who 
had  taken  refuge  therein  being  burned. 

The  fight  had  now  raged  for  nearly  three  hours  with  dreadful 
carnage  in  proportion  to  the  numbers  engaged.  It  is  not  certain 
at  just  what  point  the  Plymouth  forces  were  pushed  forward,  but 
most  likely  after  the  works  were  carried,  and  the  foremost,  ex- 
hausted, retired  for  a  time  bearing  their  dead  and  wounded  to  the 
rear;  but  we  are  assured  that  all  took  part  in  the  engagement, 
coming  on  in  turn  as  needed.  It  is  doubtful  if  the  cavalry  crossed 
the  swamp,  but  were  rather  held  in  reserve  and  as  scouts  to  cover 
the  rear  and  prevent  surprise  from  any  outside  parties. 

When  now  the  fortress  and  its  contents  were  burning  and  de- 
struction assured,  our  soldiers  hastily  gathered  their  wounded  and

as  many  as  possible  of  their  dead,  and  formed  their  shattered 
column  for  the  long  and  weary  march  back  to  Wickford. 

Reliable  details  of  this  battle  are  few,  and  only  gleaned  from 
casual  references  here  and  there,  and  thus  many  who  have  sought 
to  write  upon  the  matter,  have  quoted  in  full  the  story  of  Benja- 
min Church,  who  relates  his  own  experience,  and  draws  out  his 
personal  reminiscences  with  all  an  old  man's  fondness  for  his 
deeds  of  "long  ago."  The  very  small  part  he  took  in  this  battle 
is  evident  even  from  his  own  storv,  and  from  the  utter  silence  of 
other  writers,  especially  Mr.  Habbard,  who  knew  Church,  and 
commends  him  highly  for  his  exploits  in  the  Mount  Hope  cam- 
paign. No  one  can  doubt  the  ability  or  cour  ige  of  Mr.  Church, 
but  his  part  in  this  battle  was  simp'  /  that  wl  >n  the  fort  was  carried 
and  the  fighting  nearly  over,  he  went,  with  some  t  -rty  others, 
into  and  through  the  fort  and  out  into  the  swamp  v..oi\  the  trail 
of  the  retreating  foe,  discovered,  ambushed  and  scti.tered  a  skiV'.- 
ing  party  of  them  returning  to  the  attacV,  i  .sed  a  few  of  V.\^m 
into  the  fort  among  the  huts,  and  was  h  -nseli  severely  wounded 
by  them  when  thus  brought  to  bay. 

I  wish  here  to  record  my  protect  against  the  unjust,  often  weak, 
and  always  inconsiderate,  criticism  bestowed  upon  our  leaders  in 
this  campaign,  and  especially  in  this  battle,  for  their  lack  of  fore- 
sight in  abandoning  the  shelter  and  pro -isions  of  the  fort,  their 
sacrifice  of  the  lives  of  our  wounded  men  through  their  removal, 
and  the  dangers  and  fatigues  of  the  long  march,  and  their  inhu- 
manity in  burning  the  helpless  and  innocent  in  their  huts  and 
wigwams. 

It  is  well  to  remember  at  the  start,  that  many  of  the  wisest, 
ablest  and  bravest  men  of  "^e  three  colonies  were  the  leaders  in 
this  affair.  A  noble  comiH  .1"  r,  wise  and  brave,  reverend  minis- 
ters, by  no  means  backward  with  their  opinions;  the  most  promi- 
nent and  skillful  surgeons  the  country  a,fforded ;  veteran  majors 
and  captains  of  Massadiusetts  and  Connecticut,  with  their  veteran 
soldiers  fresh  from  the  severe  experiences  in  the  western  cam- 
paign, inured  to  danger  and  experienced  in  Indian  wiles  and  de- 
ceits ;  against  all  these  we  have  recorded  only  the  remonstrance  of

Mr.  Church,  who  up  to  that  time,  at  least,  had  experience  in  In- 
dian warfare  only  as  a  scout,  and  the  record  we  have  of  any  pro- 
test by  him  was  made  many  years  after  the  affair.     And,  again, 
from  the  standpoint  of  their  conditions  as  nearly  as  we  can  now 
judge,  it  seeirr  that  their  hasty  retreat  was  wise.  They  were  some 
sixteen  miles  from  their  base  of  supplies  at  Wickford  (it  is  doubt- 
ful if  they  had  noticed  the  Indian  supplies  until  the  burning  began). 
There  was  no  way  of  reaching  their  provisions  and  ammunition  at 
Wickford  except  by  detaching  a  portion  of  their  force  now  reduced 
greatly  by  death,  wounds  and  exposure.     The  number  of  Indians 
that  had  escaped,  and  were  still  in  the  woods  close  at  hand,  were 
unknown,  but  supposed  to  be  several  thousand,  with  report  of  a 
thousand  in  reserve  about  a  mile  distant.     These  were  now  scat- 
tered and  demoralized,  but  in  a  few  hours  might  rally  and  fall 
upon  the  fort,  put  our  troops,  in  their  weakened  condition,  upon 
the  defensive,  and  make  their  retreat  from  the  swamp  extremely 
difficult  if  not  utterly  impossible,  incumbered  as  they  would  be  by 
the  wounded,  whose  swollen  and  stiffened  wounds  in  a  few  hours 
would  render  removal  doubly  painful  and  dangerous.    Added  to 
this  was  the  chance  of  an  attack  upon  the  garrison  at  Wickford, 
and  the  dread  of  the  midnight  ambuscade,  which  every  hour's  de- 
lay made  more  likely  and  would  render  more  dangerous.     Thus  it 
seems  to  me  that  from  a  standpoint  of  military  strategy,  the  imme- 
diate retreat  to  Wickford  was  best.     As  to  humanity,  we  must  re- 
member the  harsh  times  in  which  they  were  living,  the  contempt 
in  which  the  Indians  were  held  —  first,  as  heathen,  against  whom 
war  was  righteous ;  second,  as  idle  ana  treacherous  vagabonds, 
with  no  rights  which  honest  industry  was  bound  to  respect ;  third, 
as  deadly  enemies,  lying  in  wait  to  plunder,  burn  and  destroy. 
Moreover,  the  very  life  of  the  colonies  was  threatened  by  this  war; 
many  thriving  hamlets  were  already  in  ashes ;  hundreds  of  families 
were  broken  up  and  scattered  up  and  down,  with  the  loss  of  all; 
fathers,  husbands  and  brothers  slain  or  in  captivity,  farms  and 
homes  laid  waste,  whole  communities  huddled  in  wretched  block- 
houses, while  the  "  reign   of  terror "  swept   them.     Brookfield, 
"  Beer's  Plain,"  and  "  Bloody-Brook,"  with  their  outrage  and  car-

nage,  were  fresh  in  mind,  and  a  few  days  before,  the  destruction 
and  massacre  at  Pettisquamscot ;  while  even  here  at  their  feet 
were  their  dead  and  dying  comrades  and  beloved  officers.  Is  it 
strange  that  they  were  cruel,  when  now  for  the  first  time  they 
came  face  to  face  with  the  authors  of  all  their  troubles  in  a  fair 
fight  ?  By  any  candid  student  of  history  I  believe  this  must  be 
classed  as  one  of  the  most  glorious  victories  ever  achieved  in  our 
history,  and  considering  conditions,  as  displaying  heroism,  both  in 
stubborn  patience  and  dashing  intrepidity,  never  excelled  in 
American  warfare. 

Of  the  details  of  the  march  back  to  Wickford  very  little  is 
known ;  through  a  bitter  cold  winter's  night,  in  a  blinding  snow- 
storm, carrying  two  hundred  and  ten  of  their  wounded  and  dead, 
these  soldiers,  who  had  marched  from  dawn  till  high  noon,  had 
engaged  in  a  desperate  life-and-death  struggle  from  noon  to  sun- 
set, now  plodded  sturdily  back  to  their  quarters  of  the  day  before, 
through  deepening  snows  and  over  unbroken  roads.  The  general 
and  staff,  with  their  escort,  got  separated  from  the  main  column, 
lost  their  way  and  wandered  about  till  7  o'clock  next  morning, 
while  the  main  body  reached  their  quarters  at  2  o'clock.* 


Dead  and  Wounded. 
By  Captain  Oliver's  letter,  written  a  little  more  than  a  month 
afterward  from  the  seat  of  war,  and  considered  official,  we  learn 
that  up  to  that  time  the  dead  numbered  about  sixty-eight,  and  the 
wounded  one  hundred  and  fifty,  in  the  whole  army.  Eight  of  the 
dead  were  left  in  the  fort,  and  twelve  more  were  dead  when  they 
started  back  to  Wickford.  Twenty-two  died  on  the  march,  and 
before  the  next  day,  Monday,  Dec.  20,  when  they  buried  thirty- 
four  in  one  grave,  and  six  more  within  two  days,  eight  died  at  Rhode 
Island,  and  three  others,  making  in  all  fifty-nine,  if  we  reckon  the 

*It  has  been  estimated  that  these  troops  —  besides  Hghting  the  Indians  from  noon  till  sun- 
set —  had  marched  thirty-three  or  thirty-four  miles,  through  the  deep  snow,  and  in  a  snow- 
storm ;  all  of  which  was  accomplished  within  about  twenty-one  hours.  The  roundabout 
route  over  which  they  marched  from  Pettisquamscot  to  the  battle-field  is  estimated  at  fif- 
teen or  sixteen  miles,  though  it  is  about  seven  only  in  a  straight  line ;  and  thence  to  Wick- 
ford, after  the  fight,  eighteen  miles.

twelve  carried  from  the  fort  as  a  part  of  the  thirty-four  buried 
Dec.  20;  otherwise,  seventy-one.  But  the  first  estimate  of  sixty- 
eight  is  satisfied  if  we  add  the  twenty  killed  at  the  fort  to  those 
buried  at  Wickford  and  Rhode  Island,  and  conclude  that  the 
twelve  taken  from  the  fort  were  buried  somewhere  on  the  march. 

Of  the  Massachusetts  losses  we  are  not  left  in  doubt,  since  there 
is  still  preserved  in  the  archives  a  full  and  official  return,  which 
Mr.  Hubbard  gives  substantially,  adding  to  the  wounded  probably 
those  whose  wounds  were  slight  and  not  reported  at  the  time,  and 
with  some  modifications  to  the  list  of  the  dead,  though  with  the 
same  total. 

The  official  list  of  the  killed  and  wounded  in  the  battle,  includ- 
ing three  of  Capt.  Gardiner's  men  killed  previous  to  the  battle,  is 
dated  January  6,  1675,  and  entitled:

Of  the  officers,  Capts.  Davenport,  Johnson  and  Gardiner  were 
killed,  and  Lieutenants  Upham,  Savage,  Swain  and  Ting  were 
wounded. 

Of  the  Connecticut  troops,  seventy-one  were  killed  and  wounded 
according  to  Hubbard;  and  according  to  the  eminent  historian  of 
Connecticut,  Dr.  Benj.  Trumbull,  seventy. 

Major  Treat,  by  tradition,  is  said  to  have  been  the  last  man  to 
leave  the  fort,  commanding  the  rear  guard  of  the  army;  and  of

his  captains,  Gallop,  Marshall  and  Seely  were  killed,  and  Capt. 
Mason  mortally  wounded. 

Of  the  Plymouth  forces.  Major  Bradford,  commander,  and  Ben- 
jamin Church  of  the  general's  staff  were  severely  wounded,  and 
of  the  soldiers  the  killed  and  wounded  in  both  companies  were 
twenty,  by  best  accounts. 

The  grave  of  the  forty  buried  at  Wickford  was  marked  by  a  tree 
called  the  "  grave  appletree  "  which  was  blown  down  in  the  gale 
of  September,  1815.  The  wounded  were  sent  to  Rhode  Island, 
and  well  cared  for. 

Of  the  losses  by  the  enemy  there  can  be  no  reliable  account. 
Capt.  Oliver  says  :  "  By  the  best  intelligence  we  killed  three  hun- 
dred fighting  men,  and  took  say  three  hundred  and  fifty  and  above 
three  hundred  women  and  children."  Mr.  Dudley,  two  days  after 
the  fight,  reckons  about  two  hundred;  Capt.  Mosely  counted  sixty- 
lour  in  one  corner  of  the  fort ;  and  Capt.  Gorham  made  an  esti- 
mate of  at  least  one  hundred  and  fifty.  The  desperate  strait  of 
the  Indians  is  shown  by  their  leaving  the  dead  in  their  flight.  Indian 
prisoners  afterward  reported  seven  hundred  killed.* 

The  conduct  of  the  Mohegan  and  Pequod  allies  is  represented 
by  Capt.  Oliver  as  false,  they  firing  in  the  air,  but  securing  much 
plunder. 

This  ends  Mr.  Bodge's  account  of  this  famous  Indian  battle. 
Of  the  ground  upon  which  it  was  fought,  he  says:  "Saving  the 
changes  incident  upon  the  clearing  and  cultivation  of  the  contigu- 
ous land,  the  place  could  be  easily  identified  as  a  battle-field,  even 
if  its  location  were  not  put  beyond  question  by  traditions  and  also 
relics  found  from  time  to  time  upon  the  place.  It  is  now,  as  then, 
an  '  island  of  four  or  five  acres,'  surrounded  by  swampy  land, 
overflowed  except  in  the  driest  part  of  the  year.  The  island  was 
cleared  and  plowed  about  1775,  ^"^  at  that  time  many  bullets 

♦In  the  letter  written  "ly  Mr.  Joseph  Dudley,  two  days  after  the  fight  —  and  which  also  ap- 
pears in  connection  wicli  Mr.  Bodge's  account  —  he  says ;  "  A  captive  woman,  well  known 
to  Mr.  Smith,  informing  that  there  were  three  thousand  five  hundred  men  engaging  us  and 
about  a  mile  distant  a  thousand  in  reserve,  to  whom  if  God  liad  so  pleased,  we  had  been  but  a 
morsel,  after  so  much  disablement :  she  informeth,  that  one  of  their  Sagamores  was  slain 
and  their  powder  spent,  causing  their  retreat,  and  that  they  were  in  a  distressed  condition  for 
food  and  houses,  that  one  Joshua  Tift,  an  Englishman,  is  their  encourager  and  conductor.

were  found  deeply  bedded  in  the  large  trees;  quantities  of  charred 
corn  were  plowed  up  in  the  different  places,  and  it  is  said  that 
Dutch  spoons,  arrow-heads,  etc.,  have  been  found  here  at  different 
times.  There  is  no  monument  to  mark  this  site  of  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  victories  in  American  warf^re.  The  place  is  now 
owned  by  the  Hon.  J.  G.  Clarke,  of  West  Kingston,  R.  I." 

Knowing  that  Lieutenant  Upham  was  among  those  who  were 
wounded  in  this  battle,  we  know  also  that  he  must  have  been  one 
of  those  who  were  carried  that  night  from  the  battle-field  to  Wick- 
ford;  he  was  accordingly  at  that  place  on  the  20th  of  December. 
Of  the  character,  or  circumstances  attending  his  wound,  nothing 
is  known,  and  probably  never  can  be  now;  we  only  know  that  he 
did  not  recover  from  its  effects. 

After  the  return  of  the  army  to  "  Mr.  Smith's  Garrison,"  at 
Wickford,  it  is  stated  that  the  dead  were  buried,  anU  the  wounded 
removed  to  Rhode  Island  —  the  island  in  Narragansett  Bay  — 
after  which  several  weeks  were  spent  in  "  parleying  with  the  enemy, 
watching  and  recruiting."  The  Connecticut  troops  withdrew,  ad- 
ditional troops  were  sent  from  Boston,  and  Massachusetts  and 
Plymouth  held  the  field  for  a  re  onth  longer.  It  is  not  quite  clear 
from  the  account,  whether  all  the  wounded  were  sent  at  once  to 
Rhode  Island,  as  it  would  appear.  Lieutenant  Upham  probably 
remained  at  Wickford  for  some  time  at  all  events,  and  it  is  certain 
he  did  not  go  to  Rhode  Island  until  the  6th  of  January,  following, 
which  fact  is  proven  by  the  Massachusetts  Archives  (Vol.  68,  p. 
104),  in  mentioning  the  killed  and  wounded  in  Captain  Johnson's 
company,  thus:  "  Left.  Phineas  Upham  of  Maiden  wounded  eight, 
and  were  sent  to  Road  Island  January  6th  1675-6."  (Old  style 
—  the  year  beginning  in  March.) 

How  long  Lieutenant  Upham  remained  at  Rhode  Island  is  not 
known;  it  is  probable  that  General  Winslow  left  Wickford  with  his 
command,  either  on  or  about  the  28th  of  January,  and  that  they 
reached  Boston  about  the  5  th  of  February.  On  this  march  they 
were  reduced  to  such  straits  that  they  killed  and  ate  many  of  their 
horses,  and  the  march  itself  was  known  as  the  "  Hungry  March." 
But  whether  they  carried  their  wounded  at  this  time  does  not  ap-

pear ;  neither  is  there  any  thing  to  show  how  or  when  Lieutenant 
Upham  returned  to  Massachusetts. 

The  next  notice  that  has  been  found  of  him  is  that  of  his  death, 
in  October,  1676,  as  follows: 

'' Deaths  in  Maiden"  ' 

"  Phineas  Upham,  8,  '76." 

This  record  undoubtedly  refers  to  Lieutenant  Phineas,  for  there 
was  no  other  Phineas  to  whom  it  might  refer;  though  —  as  Dr. 
Upham  says  in  the  Notices  —  in  his  will  Lieutenant  Phineas  Up- 
ham is  spoken  of  as  being  "  at  that  time  "  (the  time  of  making  his 
will),  "  sick  at  Boston,  where  he  deceased,"  etc.  This  statement 
is  also  confirmed  on  page  56  of  Hubbard's  Narrative.  The  rec- 
ord of  his  death,  as  given  above,  is  from  the  Maiden  records  of 
births,  marriages  and  deaths  —  Liber  i,  p.  i  —  and  is  probably 
much  more  reliable  than  the  references  mentioned. 

From  what  has  been  stated  as  to  the  evidences  of  the  date  of 
his  birth,  he  must  have  been  about  forty-one  years  of  age  at  his 
death.  No  stone  bearing  his  name  has  been  found  among  those 
of  the  other  members  of  his  family  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Maiden. 
Recently,  however,  Mr.  James  B.  Upham  (No.  439),  of  the  Youth's 
Companion,  a  resident  of  Maiden,  determined,  if  possible,  to  solve 
the  question  of  his  ancestor's  last  resting  place.  By  the  side  of 
his  wife's  grave,  he  had  the  ground  probed  with  a  long  iron  rod, 
and  became  satisfied  that  there  had  once  been  a  grave.  By  re- 
peated trials  its  outlines  were  determined,  which  showed  it  to  be 
that  of  a  tall  person.  A  number  of  articles  were  found  in  the 
layer  of  organic  matter,  silent  witnesses  of  the  robe  in  which  it 
was  formerly  the  custom  to  bury  the  dead.  There  plainly  had 
been  a  body  placed  at  a  remote  time,  ar  ■  its  position,  at  the  side 
of  Mrs.  Ruth  Upham 's  grave,  pointed  '  out  as  that  of  the  grave 
of  hui  husband,  Lieut.  Phineas  Upham.  It  is  probable  that  the 
widow,  left  with  little  means  and  a  large  family,  was  wholly  unable 
to  find  means  to  pay  for  a  stone,  and  the  grave  has  until  this  day 
remained  unmci.i.  d.

In  the  r(«.oords  of  the  fall  terra  of  the  General  Court  for  the 
same  year,    676,  is  found  the  following  enir/: 

"h\  answer  to  the  petition  of  Ruth  Upham.  wiilcv  arl.  relics 
of  the  late  I/ieut.  Phin-'as  Upham.  ihe  Co  '.rL  judgeth  U  meet  I0

widow  len  pounds  in,  or  as  money."  (Court  Records,  Liber  4, 
p.    '■$■) 

Wuh  legard  to  the  wife  of  Phineas  Upham,  not  much  has  been 
k'^rned.  Her  death  is  recorded  on  the  Maiden  records,  and  her 
gravestone  has  been  identified  in  the  old  burying  ground  already 
referred  to,  on  which  is  the  following  inscription: 

"  Here  lyes  the  body  of  Ruth  Upham,  aged  60  years: 
Died  Jan,  i8:  1696-y," 

According  to  this  she  must  have  been  born  in  1636-7,  and  have 
been  about  the  same  age  as  her  husband.  Nothing  is  known  of 
her  ancestry,  though  as  Dr.  Upham  ^■•'ggests,  from  the  similarity 
of  names,  she  TMy  have  been  the  daugnter  of  the  persons  named 
in  the  following:  "Ruth  Wood,  wife  of  Edward,  died  at  Charles- 
tOMin,  Aug.  20,  1642." 

Dr.  Upham  closes  his  account  of  Lieutenant  Phineas  with  the 
following  remarks: 

"It  would  seem  that  Lieutenant  Phineas  Upham  possessed  in  a 
high  degree  that  genius  of  enterprise  so  characteristic  of  his  father. 
Worcester,  called  in  his  will  '  Consugaraeg,  alias  Lydbury,'  ?,  fair 
and  beautiful  town,  owes  its  foundation  in  no  small  degree,  as  it 
clearly  appears,  to  his  activity  and  energy. 

"In  the  military  service  of  his  country  it  is  manifest  that  he  was 
esteemed  a  meritorious  and  efficient  office'-;  having,  in  his  short

career,  attracted  the  favorable  notice  of  the  government,  and  been 
once  associated  with  an  officer  of  the  Plymouth  colony  in  the 
command  of  a  highly  hazardous  expedition  into  the  enemy's 
country. 

"In  battle  Lieutenant  Upham  exhibited  the  character  of  a  brave 
man  and  patriot,  purchasing  with  mortal  wounds  the  palm  of  vic- 
tory; and  the  government  was  not  unmindful  of  his  great  sacrifice, 
but  bore  testimony  upon  the  records  '  to  the  long  and  good  ser- 
vices he  did  to  the  country,  and  the  great  loss  sustained  by  his 
friends  in  his  death.'" 

Lieutenant  Fhineas,  above,  and  wife  Ruth,  had  children,  all

died  when  he  was  eighteen  years  old,  leaving  him  the  following 
property,  as  described  in  the  will:  "To  his  eldest  son  Phineas, 
he  did  give  his  new  dwelling  house,  with  the  land  belonging  to  it, 
and  the  meadow,  and  half  the  stock,  when  he  should  come  of  the 
age  of  one  and  twenty  years."  He  was  one  of  the  selectmen  of 
Maiden  for  the  years  from  1692  to  1696,  inclusive.  He  was  town 
treasurer  for  the  years  from  1697  to  170  r,  inclusive;  and  during 
the  same  time  was  employed  in  the  settlement  of  various  estates. 
There  are  on  record  several  inventories  drawn  up  by  him;  one  in 
1693,  one  in  1697,  one  in  1698,  one  in  1699,  two  in  1700,  etc.  In 
1697  he  was  on  a  committee  for  the  partition  of  certain  lands,  and 
in  1699  was  appointed  a  guardian.  All  of  which  items  appear  on 
the  records  at  Maiden.  He  was  chosen  representative  to  the  Gen- 
eral Court  from  Maiden  in  1701,  as  ajipears  from  the  following 
extract  from  records  of  that  court: 

"May  25th,  1701,  His  honor,  the  Lieutenant  Governor,  being 
informed  that  the  representatives  were  come  to  the  chamber,  he 
ordered  Col.  John  Pincheon,  and  Elisha  Cook,  Esq.,  of  the  Coun- 
cil, and  the  Secretary,  to  administer  unto  them  the  oath  appointed 
by  act  of  Parliament  to  be  taken,  instead  of  the  oath  of  allegiance 
and  supremacy,  and  to  cause  them  to  repeat  and  subscribe  the 
declaration  in  said  act,  and  also  to  sign  the  association,  that  :.o 
they  might  be  qualified  to  proceed  to  the  choice  of  a  speaker,"  etc. 

Among  the  names  of  the  representatives  returned  to  serve  for 
the  several  towns  is  the  following: 

"  For  Maiden,  Mr.  Phineas  Upham." 

He  held  the  same  office  in  1702,  as  appears  by  the  record  of  the 
session  of  the  court,  in  May  of  that  year.  He  was  also  one  of  the 
selectmen  at  Maiden  for  1701  and  1702,  and  for  1703  and  1704. 

In  1705,  his  name  was  again  among  the  representatives,  as  the 
following  shows: 

"Anno  regni  Annae  Reginae  Quarto." 
"  At  a  Great  and  General  Court  holden  at  Boston,  on  Wednesday,

turned.    County  of  Middlesex." 

"  Maiden,  Mr.  Phineas  Upham." 

He  v/as  again  selectman  for  the  years  1709  and  1710,  at  which 
time  he  is  called  Deacon.  For  the  years  1711,  1714  and  1715,  he 
was  moderator  of  the  town  meeting.  In  May,  17 16,  he  was  again 
chosen  representative,  and  in  1717,  was  moderator  and  selectman. 

He  was  chosen  representative  for  the  fifth  time,  in  May,  17 18. 

The  gravestone  of  Phineas  Upham,  Second,  is  still  standing  in 
the  old  burying-ground  at  Maiden,  and  has  the  following 
inscription: 

"HERE  LYES  YE  BODY  OF  DEACON  PHINEAS  UPHAM. 

DIED  OCT.  1720,  IN  YE  62  Year  OF 

HIS  AGE." 

His  wife  survived  him,  and  was  living  in  November,  1720,  at 
which  time  f.he  appeared  before  the  magistrate,  where  she  declared 
herself  content  with  her  legacy.     There  is  no  record  of  her  death. 

Phineas,  above,  and  wife  Mary,  had: 

8  I  Phineas,  b.  June  10,  1682.

location  of  the  family  at  Maiden,  as  the  History  of  Reading  says  : 
"The  north  part  of  Maiden,  including  ten  families,  was  annexed 
to  Reading  in  1727.  This  annexation  included  the  Green,  Upham, 
and  Evans  families,  with  their  farms,  and  was  that  part  which 
is  now  Greenwood,  that  was  situated  southerly  of  the  old  Smith 
farms."  The  Reading  records  also  show  :  "  1726.  The  town  voted 
that  upon  the  petition  of  our  neighbors  in  the  north  end  of  Maiden, 
Richard  Upham  and  William  Green  representing  them,"  etc.  He 
d.  in  his  67th  year,  as  appears  from  his  gravestone,  which  is  still 
standing  at  Wakefield  (formerly  Reading)  viz. : 

Here  lyes  ye  body  of

who  d.  in  85th  year,  Sept.  i,  1764.  Like  his  brother  Thomas,  and 
as  already  explained,  he  owned  land  which  was  originally  a  part  of 
Maiden,  but  in  1727  became  a  part  of  Reading,  on  the  petition  of 
Richard  Upham  and  othrs  —  which  part  afterward  was  in  Green- 
wood. He  purchased  land  in  Thompson.  Conn.,  of  Isaac  Jewett, 
in  1726,  and  conveyed  the  same,  and  othev  subsequent  purchases 
to  his  son  Ivory.  He  was  a  farmer.  In  1733  he  was  one  of  a  com- 
mittee to  treat  with  Mr.  Hobbs  —  the  minister.  He  is  mentioned 
in  the  History  of  Reading  thus  :  "  1734.  Richard  Upham  whom 
Pai  >on  Hobbs  calls  a  saint  indeed,  died  this  year,  of  stranguary."

PHINEAS  THIRD. 

'  '8.  Phineas*  Upham  (Phineas*,  Phineas*,  John'),  of  Maiden, 
Mass.,  b.  there  June  10,  1682;  m.  by  Mr.  Wigglesworth,  Nov. 
23,  1703,  Tamzen  (Thomasin)  Hill,  dau.  of  Isaac  and  Sarah 
(Bicknell)  Hill,  b.  Dec.  10,  1685,  who  d.  Apr.  24,  1768.  He  is 
early  mentioned  as  yeoman,  and  soon  after  his  marriage  he  moved 
from  what  was  known  as  Maiden  Center  to  North  Maiden,  of 
which  place  he  was  one  of  the  first  inhabitants.  In  the  year 
1707-8,  he  is  mentioned  as  "Ensign  Phineas  Upham,"  and  was 
that  year  chosen  a  selectman,  as  he  was  also  the  following  year,  and 
the  year  1709-10.  In  1711-12,  he  was  assessor.  For  the  years 
1725,  1726,  1728,  1729  and  1730,  he  was  chosen  moderator  of 
the  town  meetings.  He  was  again  moderator  for  the  years 
1748  and  1752.  His  name  also  appears  on  the  records  as  witness 
to  various  legal  documents,  as  the  will  of  Lazarus  Grover,  in  May, 
1715;  and  in  17 16,  the  will  of  Nathaniel  Upham  is  witnessed  by 
both  the  second  and  third  Phineas  Upham. 

His  will  was  made  in  the  year  1751,  and  as  this  document  was 
lodged  in  the  probate  office  the  29th  of  April,  1766,  it  is  probable

that  his  death  occurred  that  year;  in  this  case  he  was  in  his  84th 
year  at  the  time  of  his  death.  His  wife  died  two  years  later,  at 
the  age  of  83. 

In  the  Notices,  Dr.  Upham  says:  "  Mr.  John  Edmonds,  of 
Maiden,  an  old  soldier,  now  "  (1845),  "  89  years  of  age,  informs  me 
that  when  a  boy  he  often  saw  Phineas  Upham.  He  states  that  he 
was  of  medium  height;  his  hair  abundant,  but  of  pure  white,  and 
his  costume  that  of  his  times,  viz. —  breeches,  cocked  hat,  &c.  He 
used  to  walk  about  the  village  with  the  assistance  of  an  ivory- 
headed  cane,  and  he  had  a  favorite  seat  beneath  a  wide-spreading 
tree,  wiiere  he  was  often  seen  reposing.  He  '  valued  himself,' 
says  Mr.  Edmonds,  'on  his  French  blood.'" 

Phineas  Upham  and  his  wife,  Tamzen,  had: 

I  Tabitha,  b.  Dec.  11,  1704;  m.  Daniel  Newhall,  1728.

The  Old  Upham  Homestead  at  Melrose. 
The  following  interesting  account  of  the  old  house  still  standing 
at  Melrose,  formerly  North  Maiden,  Mass.,  was  prepared  by  Mary 
Elizabeth,  the  daughter  of  Orne  Upham  (No.  320),  who  was  born 
in  the  house,  and  whose  Upham  ancestors  have  continued  to  live 
and  die  there  since  the  days  of  the  third  Phineas.  It  is,  therefore, 
the  ancestral  home  of  all  who  descend  from  Phineas  Upham,  Third,

and  for  that  reason  should  be  of  especial  interest  to  such.  This 
account  was  written  in  April,  1890,  at  whicli  time  the  hoincicead 
was  the  property  of  Orne  Upham. 

Our  records  say  that  Phineas  Upham,  the  Third  (so.i  of  Deacon 
Phineas,  and  grandson  of  Lieut,  Phineas),  was  one  cf  the  earliest 
settlers  in  North  Maiden  —  now  Melrose.  Accounts  differ  as  to 
the  time  of  the  building  of  his  homestead.  The  dates  1695,  1698, 
and  1700  are  given  by  different  authorities,  as  the  time  when  the 
land  was  granted  to  him.  The  old  Maiden  record  says  :  "  Phineas 
Upham  and  Tamzen  Hill  were  joined  in  marriage,  ye  23d  of  No- 
vember, 1703,  by  Mr.  Wigglesworth;  "  so  we  may  be  sure  that  soon 
after  the  opening  of  the  eighteenth  century,  young  Phineas  and  his 
bride  "Tamzen,"  were  established  in  their  primitive  dwelling  on 
the  wooded  crest  of"  Upham  Hill." 

'J'he  original  house  must  have  been  quite  small.  A  family  tradi- 
tion has  taught  us  that  it  little  more  than  covered  the  present  cel- 
lar, which  extends  under  less  than  half  the  building.  A  huge 
chimney — with  a  fireplace  ten  feet  long,  and  :ih  high  as  the  main 
TO(//fi  ()f  the  dwelling  —  rivaled  the  house  itself  in  size. 

But  it  was  not  long  before  the  family  outgrew  its  narrow  quar- 
ters. Then  was  the  first  building  supplemented  by  such  additions, 
that  it  came  to  be  a  large,  substantial  dwelling,  thirty  feet  in  length, 
and  two  stories  high  toward  the  south.  On  the  nortij  the  roof 
sloped  nearly  to  the  ground. 

Later  still  (and  yet  so  long  ago  that  no  one  now  living  remerr^ 
bers  it)  the  sloping  roof  was  raised,  so  thdt  the  house  is  nearly  two 
stories  high  on  the  north,  to-day.     In  the  jld  garret  the  original 
sloping  rafters  may  yet  be  seen. 

The  front  door  of  the  house  is  away  from  the  street  on  the  south 
side.  Crossing  its  smooth  door-stone  we  enter  a  small  passage- 
way from  which  a  few  stairs,  with  two  square  landii  3,  lead  to  the 
upper  floor.  At  the  right  a  low  door-way  admits  us  vo  a  large  wotii, 
eighteen  feet  square,  presumably  the  "  best  room  "  of  the  house. 
Its  low  v/ainscot,  and  high  mantel,  the  broad  beams  across  the  ceil- 
ing—  but  a  short  distance  above  our  heads  —  and  the  long  hearth 
of  the  primi^'ve  fireplace  —  all  point  to  the  age  of  the  structure.

On  the  left  of  the  front  entry  is  another  room,  much  like  the 
first.  The  center  of  the  house  is  occupied  by  the  huge  chimney, 
and  on  the  north  are  the  smaller  rooms. 

The  oak  beams  are  in  many  cases  eighteen  inches  thick;  and 
the  walls  are  filled  in  with  bricks  and  clay.  The  chimney  is  made 
of  bricks  of  many  different  sizes,  and  clay  instead  of  mortar  is 
used.  The  fireplaces  have  been  made  smaller,  within  a  century, 
but  the  original  hearths — in  some  of  which  square  tiles  are  placed 
— are  still  left. 

The  occupants  of  this  house  through  the  various  succeeding 
generations  have  all  been  tillers  of  the  soil,  though  several  have 
combined  with  this  mechanical  trades,  as  a  supplementary  occupa- 
tion. Its  present  owner  and  occupant  (Orne  Uphr^m)  still  carries 
on  the  farm,  though  but  few  of  the  original  acres  remain.

to  Putnam  estate  in  1773,  as  per  Essex  Co.  deed,  with  William 
and  Caleb  Putnam.  Richard  Upham  was  engaged  in  trading 
from  Salem,  along  the  coasts  of  Maine,  Nova  Scotia,  and  Cape 
Breton;  was  at  the  capture  of  Louisburg,  where  he  lost  his  ves-

gentle  in  their  manners,  intelligent,  and  given  to  the  acquisition  of  knowl-

who  was  b.  April  lo,  1720;  she  was  the  dau.  of  Thomas  and 
Mary  Cheever;  her  father  m.  Widow  Mary  Baker,  Aug.  6,  171a. 
Timothy  Upham  is  mentioned  by  Mr.  Wyman  as  a  weaver,  but  it 
is  probable  that  this,  like  some  others,  may  have  been  owing  to 
the  fact  that  he  had  a  loom  in  his  possession,  probably  on  his  farm; 
he  is  said  by  Dr.  Upham  —  in  the  Notices  —  to  have  been  "  a 
farmer  in  easy  circumstances."  In  1740  he  was  chosen  with 
James  Green  to  put  into  execution  a  new  law  for  the  better  pres- 
ervation of  deer  in  the  province.  In  1745  he  was  made  surveyor 
of  highways.  In  1749-50  he  was  appointed  constable,  and  in  1751 
he  was  executor  of  liis  father's  will.  At  this  time  it  is  probable 
that  he  became  a  member  of  Mr.  Roby's  church,  then  the  third  of 
I^ynn,  but  afterward  the  first  of  Saugus.  This  church  was  organ- 
ized and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Roby  ordained  over  it  in  1753,  and  its  rec- 
ords contain  the  following  entry:  "  Jan.  22d,  1759,  the  church 
consented,  at  the  request  of  the  church  at  Stoneham,  to  send  two 
deacons  and  Mr.  Timothy  Upham  to  assist  in  the  instalment  of 
the  Rev.  John  Searle."  He  died  July  3,  1781,  aged  nearly 
seventy-one,  and  was  buried  in  the  old  graveyard  at  Saugus.  Dr. 
Upham  says  he  was  "  of  a  character  mild  and  generous,  but  firm 
and  upright."  His  wife  survived  him  many  years  and  died  at 
South  Reading  —  probably  at  the  house  of  her  dau.,  Mrs.  Board- 
man —  on  the  22d  of  April,  1801,  of  palsy,  being  at  that  time  in 
her  eightieth  year.     They  had:

Katharine  Nichols,  also  of  the  Upham  blood,  a  great-granddaugh- 
ter of  Lieut.  Phineas  Upham;  she  survived  the  death  of  her  hus- 
band. He  was  a  doctor  of  medicine,  as  appears  from  various 
evidences  and  from  the  following  exf  ^t  from  his  father's  will: 
"And  the  reason  why  I  give  my  son  Jabez  no  more  in  this  my  last 
will,  is  because  I  have  given  him  to  the  value  of  a  hundred  pounds, 
in  bringing  him  up  to'the  art  of  a  Doctor  or  Physician."  He  set- 
tled at  Brookfield,  and  there  became  distinguished  in  the  practice 
of  his  profession.  He  also  built  a  grist  mill  on  Mason's  brook,  at 
Brookfield,  in  1748.  He  was  captain  of  the  company  from  Brook- 
field which  marched  for  the  relief  of  Fort  William  Henry  during 
the  French  and  Indian  war,  as  appears  from  the  following  extract 
from  the  Hist,  of  North  Brookfield:  "Aug.  3, 1759,  Gen.  Montcalm, 
with  an  army  of  11,000  French  and  Indians  invested  Fort  William 
Henry.  Col.  Munroe  defended  the  Fort  for  six  days  with  an 
effective  force  of  only  2,372  men,  surrendering  August  9.  Cap- 
tain Jabez  Upham's  company  from  Brookfield,  seventy  men,  not 
having  intelligence  of  the  surrender,  marched  from  Brookfield  for 
the  relief  of  Col.  Munroe,  on  the  9th  of  August,  1757  (the  date  of 
the  surrender),  and  were  out  17  days."  He  also  represented 
Brookfield  in  the  General  Court  during  the  years  from  1756  to 
1760,  inclusive.  He  died  in  his  forty-fourth  year,  as  appears  from 
the  inscription  on  his  gravestone,  a  horizontal  tablet,  at  Brook- 
field, viz.: 

"  Beneath  this  stone  lie  deposited  the  remains  of  Doctor 
Jabez  Upham  the  cheerful  applycation  of  whose  distin- 
guished abilities  for  the  good  of  mankind  rendered  him

a  useful  member  not  only  of  the  court  of  which  he  was 
some  years  but  especially  in  the  practice  of  physick  in 
which  his  success  demonstrated  his  skill  but  as  no  age  or 
condition  of  life  is  free  from  the  arrest  of  death  he  was 
called  in  the  midst  of  his  usefulness  to  leave  this  world 
and  departed  this  life  November  4th  1760  in  the  forty 
fourth  year  of  his  age  — 

Hope  humbly  then  with  trembling  pinions  sou 
Wait  the  great  teacher  death  and  God  adore." 

The  gravestone  of  his  wife  Katharine  is  also  at  Brookiield,  and 
bears  the  following  inscription:

Deacon  John  and  Sarah  (Dickinson)  Leonard,  of  Springfield,  a

Harvard,  1734,  and  ordained  pastor  of  the  Baptist  Church  at  West 
Springfield,  1740,  by  Rev.  John  Callender,  of  Newport,  and  Rev. 
Jeremiah  Condy,  of  Boston;  he  resigned  his  pastorate  at  Spring- 
field in  1748  and  moved  to  Newport,  R.  I.,  where  he  became  pas- 
tor of  the  First  Baptist  Church,  remaining  as  such  until  1771, 
when  he  resigned  and  returned  to  West  Springfield.  After  Mr. 
Upham  left  Springfield  in  1748  the  Baptist  Church  at  that  place 
was  disbanded,  and  in  1763  the  Congregational  Church  was  com- 
posed of  a  portion  of  those  who  had  originally  been  members  of 
the  Baptist  Church.  After  his  return  to  Springfield  he  gathered 
his  scattered  flock  and  began  to  preach  to  them  in  his  own  house.

He  continued  to  preach  until  he  was  eighty  years  old,  and  was  an 
open  communion  Baptist.  His  home  was  in  Feeding  Hills  parish, 
at  West  Springfield,  where  he  owned  a  farm,  upon  which  he  lived. 
About  five  years  before  his  death  he  was  taken  with  a  disorder 
with  which  he  was  confined  to  his  bed  for  the  rest  of  his  life.  He 
died  at  West  Springfield,  Oct.  5,  1797.  He  had  the  friendship  of 
the  Rev.  Dr.  Lathrop,  the  Congregational  minister  at  the  same 
place,  who  preached  his  funeral  sermon  from  Job  xlii,  7 : 
"  So  Job  died,  being  full  of  days." 
By  those  who  knew  him  he  was  considered  a  man  of  ability  and 
learning.  He  was  one  of  the  board  of  Fellows  of  Rhode  Island 
College  (now  Brown  University)  from  1764  to  1787.  The  Rev. 
Dr.  Ezra  Stiles,  president  of  Yale  College,  who  lived  in  Newport  in 
early  life,  left  the  following  entry  in  his  diary  under  date  of  April 
19,  1771:  "Rev.  E.  Upham  with  his  wife  and  family  sailed  for 
Connecticut  river,  removing  to  Springfield.  His  congregation  and 
friends  accompanied  them  to  the  ship  with  many  tears." 

Edward  Upham  and  wife  Sarah  had:  .    :•  m

Sarah,  b.  July  24, 1742;  m.  Benedict  Bliss,  Dec.  24, 1766. 
Edward,  b.  July  24,  1744;  probably  d.  early. 

There  is  a  note  that  his  eldest  son  was  accidentally 
shot  while  hunting  bears  at  night ;  it  is  likely  this  was 
the  one.

dren, among  them  Hon.  B.  t.  Wade,  U.  S.  Senator 
from  Ohio,  and  his  brother  Edward  Wade,  minister  of 
the  House  of  Representatives.  Schuyler  Colfax, 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives  and  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  States,  married  one  of  this 
family,  granddaughter  of  the  Rev.  Edward  Upham, 
and  the  Wade  posterity  has  attained  unusual  distinc- 
tion in  this  country.  James  F.  Wade,  son  of  Senator 
B.  F.  Wade,  b.  April  14,  1843,  is  colonel  of  the  Fifth 
U.  S.  Cavalry.

33.  Rev.  Caleb*  Upham  (Ebenezer*.  Phineas*,  Phineas*, 
JohnOi  of  Truro,  Mass.,  b.  in  Maiden,  1733 ;  m.  Priscilla,  the 
dau.  of  Rev.  Benjamin  Allen,  of  Falmouth  (Portland),  April  ai, 
175s  ;  ohe  d.  in  58th  year,  Jan.,  1785.  He  was  graduated  at  Har- 
vard College  in  1744,  and  was  a  Congregational  minister  ;  he  was 
ordained  pastor  of  the  church  at  Truro,  on  the  aQth  of  October, 
1755.  Rich's  "  Truro,  Cape  Cod,  or  Land  Marks  and  Sea- 
marks," beginning  on  p.  343,  has  the  following,  with  reference  to 
the  Rev.  Caleb  Upham  :  "  His  ministry  in  Truro  covered  the  en- 
tire period  of  the  Revolutionary  war,  which  tried  the  souls  of  the 
Cape  people,  perhaps  more  than  those  of  any  other  place  in  the 
country.  Mr.  Upham  was  a  stanch  and  uncompromising  patriot. 
He  entered  bravely  into  the  work  of  sustaining  the  Colonies, 
greatly  encouraged  his  people  in  public  and  in  private,  sympa- 
thized with  them  in  their  great  losses,  sufferings  and  struggles,  and 
as  we  have  seen  by  the  records,"  —  shown  on  previous  pages  of 
the  same  book  —  "  was  associated  with  the  citizens  in  the  most 
important  committees.  In  1775,  he  generously  relinquished  fifty 
pounds  of  his  salary  for  the  poor.  Dr.  Freeman  pays  the  follow- 
ing tribute  to  his  memory  : 

'"Mr.  Upham  was  a  good  scholar,  an  animated  preacher,  a 
warm  friend  to  his  country,  and  an  honest  man.  He  left  behind 
him  a  poem  in  manuscript,  the  subject  of  which  was  taken  from 
the  book  of  Job.  He  was  ever  attentive  to  the  real  good  of  his 
people,  and  exerted  himself  with  zeal  and  fidelity  in  their  service.' 

"  There  were  added  to  the  church  during  his  ministry  two  hun- 
dred and  eighty-six.  I  have  no  account  of  his  family,  except  his 
son,  Benjamin  Allen,  born  in  1756,  at  Truro.  For  many  years  he 
was  a  prominent  citizen,  selectman,  etc.  His  name  has  been,  and 
I  trust  will  continue  to  be,  borne  by  every  generation  in  Truro. 
Captain  Caleb  Upham  Crozier,  a  well-known,  enterprising  ship- 
master, of  Provincetown,  died  in  Calcutta,  where  a  substantial 
monument  commemorates  his  name.  Caleb  Upham  Crozier,  a 
retired  master  mariner,  is  now  living  in  North  Truro.  There  may 
be  others  bearing  the  name."

47.  Captain  William'  Upham  (Ezekiel*,  John',  Phineas*, 
John'),  of  Westminster,  Vt.,  b.  at  Maiden  (according  to  informa- 
tion given  by  his  descendants,  but  as  he  was  born  after  his  father 
Ezekiel  settled  at  Sturbridge,  it  would  seem  natural  to  conclude 
that  William  was  born  at  Sturbridge,  in  the  absence  of  special  in- 
formation to  the  contrary),  Oct.  29,  1738;  m.  Elizabeth  Wood  of 
Charlestown,  N.  H.,  Oct.  25,  1770,  at  Springfield,  Vt.;  she  died 
se.  54,  May  8,  1804.  The  tradition  in  this  family  is,  that  Wil- 
liam went  to  Sturbridge  with  his  father  when  he  settled  at  that 
place,  but  that  could  hardly  be  so.  He  left  Sturbridge,  and  went 
to  Charlestown,  N.  H.,  where  he  met  his  wife,  and  where  his  first 
child  was  born,  July  19,  1771;  when  this  child  (Joshua)  was  six 
months  old,  he  left  Charlestown  and  moved  to  Weathersfield, 
where  he  remained  the  rest  of  his  life.  He  was  the  first  clerk  of 
the  town  of  Weathersfield  —  elected  at  the  organization  of  the 
town.  May  19,  1772  —  and  in  1772,  he  bought  a  large  tract  of  land 
there,  on  which  he  lived  and  died;  he  was  captain  of  a  company 
from  Weathersfield  in  the  Vermont  militia,  which  rendered 
service  in  the  Revolution,  and  for  which  he  was  afterward  paid  by 
the  State.  He  represented  Weathersfield  in  the  Vermont  legisla- 
ture, ?.nd  held  various  other  offices.  He  was  baptized  in  a  mill 
pond  near  his  place,  by  Dr.  Thomas  Baldwin,  of  Boston,  for  whom 
the  Baldwin  church  in  Boston  was  named,  some  time  previous  to 
1790.  Hed.  Dec.  20, 18 12,  ae.  74,  leaving  a  good  property  to  each

warned  to  march  at  a  minute's  notice;  he  quit  his  scythe,  took  his

tory,  which  she  received  from  her  grandmother  during  the  life- 
time of  the  latter.  (Mrs.  Smith's  information  was  given  in  1880), 
viz.: 

"  My  grandmother  told  me,  when  I  was  very  young,  that  grand- 
father was  a  man  who  had  a  large  share  of  self-respect,  and  she 
never  liked  to  question  him;  he  was  twenty  years  older  than  her- 
self, and  she  felt  honored  by  the  alliance.  One  or  two  incidents, 
illustrating  his  character,  were  indelibly  impressed  on  my  mem- 
ory ;  she  told  me  that  we  knew  little  of  thunder-storms  in  my  day, 
for  as  the  century  advanced  they  became  lighter.  One  summer 
afternoon  a  terrific  storm  spread  over  the  heavens;  the  workmen 
in  the  hay  field  followed  my  grandfather  to  the  house  for  shelter, 
for  all  seemed  to  feel  safe  who  followed  his  lead.  They  gathered 
in  the  large  kitchen — ten  or  twelve  of  them — while  the  house 
shook  to  its  foundation ;  the  children  whimpered;  the  dog 
howled;  all  but  the  master  were  shaken  with  fear.  He  was 
calm;  seeing  the  condition  of  affairs,  he  took  his  Bible  — 
read  a  portion  —  and  offered  a  prayer  for  protection;  at  once 
there  was  a  hush;  the  children  were  quiet,  the  dog  crouched  at 
the  feet  of  his  master,  and  an  awe  crept  over  all. 

"  Occasionally,  when  storms  were  protracted,  and  work  was 
suspended,  he  would  improve  the  time  in  this  manner.  Truly 
*  the  steps  of  a  good  man  are  ordered  by  the  Lord.' 

**  My  grandmother  told  me  that  a  common  petition  of  her  hus- 
band in  prayer  was:  *  That  there  might  never  be  a  family  by  the 
n<n.me  of  Upham,  where  there  might  not  be,  at  least  one,  who 
would  be  a  Standard  Bearer  for  Christ.' 

"  Dr.  Ebenezer  Starr,  the  family  physician,  was  accustomed  in 
his  social  visits,  to  sit  for  hours  and  talk  of  the  eternal  future.  On 
one  occasion  the  general  resurrection  was  the  subject,  when  the 
doctor  said:  'Deacon  Upham,  I  wish  to  be  buried  by  your  side, 
that  we  may  rise  together.'  A  few  years  since  I  visited  my  grand- 
father's plot,  where  side  by  side  were  the  stones  bearing  their 
names. 

"  On  a  communion  Sabbath,  he  was  stricken  with  apoplexy,  and 
lived  speechless  but  two  or  three  days.    He  died  at  the  age  of  62." 

Deacon  Thomas  Upham  died  Oct.  17,  1780.  His  gravestone  is 
in  the  cemetery  at  Weston,  and  beside  the  record  of  his  death,  has 
the  following  epitaph: 

Here  the  clay  form  in  hope  to  rise, 
Of  Dea.  Thomas  Upham  lies; 
Sixty -two  years  measured  his  race, 
Thirteen  of  which  in  deacons  place,

Trains,  had  moved  to  Bristol,  Me.,  to  which  place  he  also  moved, 
after  the  Revolution;  it  is  probable  that  others  from  Athol  moved

time  about  1830,  an  officer  of  a  ship  which  had  re- 
turned from  Africa,  reported  that  there  were  at  that 
time,  a  father  and  son  by  the  name  of  Upham,  who 
were  in  the  mercantile  business  at  Cape  Town;  this 
was  probably  this  Josiah,  and  it  is  likely  his  descend-

of  Dudley,  Mass.,  b.  in  Reading,  Mass.,  Dec.  10,  1740;  m.  Eu- 
nice Kidder,  at  Dudley,  April  16, 1765.  She  was  b.  Dec.  7, 1735, 
and  was  the  dau.  of  Richard  Kidder,  of  Dudley,  who  was  a  de- 
scendant of  James  Kidder,  b.  in  East  Grinstead,  Sussex,  England,

Anna,  dau.  of  Elder  Francis  Moore.  (See  Kidder  Genealogy  for 
complete  record  of  this  family  to  a  very  early  period.)  The  dates 
of  the  deaths  of  Joseph  Upham  and  his  wife,  Eunice,  have  not 
been  found. 

Joseph  Upham  went  to  Dudley,  with  his  father,  from  Reading, 
when  about  eight  years  of  age,  and  continued  to  live  there  during 
the  remainder  of  his  life.  His  father  gave  each  of  his  sons  a  farm 
of  about  one  hundred  acres,  when  they  reached  twenty-one  years 
of  age,  and  he  received  one  of  those  pieces  of  land — a  portion  of 
the  estate  originally  purchased  at  Dudley  when  Joseph  Upham, 
Sr.,  first  went  there  from  Reading.  He  was  eight  years  one  of  the 
selectmen  at  Dudley,  and  perhaps  during  a  longer  period.  He 
was  chairman  of  the  selectmen  five  years.  The  following  is  an 
extract  f rom  Ammidown's  Historical  Collections,  article  "Dudley": 

"At  a  Town  meeting  in  Dudley,  17th  Dec,  1774,  the  town 
voted  to  appropriate  the  Province  money  in  the  hands  of  the  col- 
lector, to  buy  a  half  chest  of  guns  and  bayonets;  to  adhere  to  the 
doings  of  the  Grand  Congress  in  all  matters  whatsoever;  and  to 
conform  to  the  non-importation  agreement.  They  then  chose  a 
committee  of  nine  to  see  that  the  resolves  of  the  Grand  Congress 
were  carried  into  effect."  Joseph  Upham  was  one  of  these.  "August

a  collection  of  books,  large  for  that  day,  while  his  wife  and  sons 
ran  the  farm — a  large  and  valuable  one;  and  they  lived  well.  His 
wife  was  a  remarkable  woman,  of  great  administrative  ability,  and 
an  excellent  manager ;  she  was  called  'Aunt  Nellie,'  and  was  at 
the  head  of  the  household  until  two  years  before  her  death,  which 
occurred  at  the  age  of  94.  I  have  a  good  recollection  of  her  for 
about  fifteen  years;  it  was  a  pleasant  home  to  visit:  herself,  her 
son  Stephen,  his  wife  and  four  children,  the  daughters  Sarah, 
Zeviah,  and  Abby,  lived  a  harmonious  and  happy  family.  They 
were  kind  and  cheerful,  never  rude  or  boisterous,  and  it  was  a

SACRED  TO  THE  MEMORY  OF  THE   REV.  TIMOTHY 

UPHAM, 
First  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  this  town,  over 
which  he  was  ordained  in  Nov.,  1772,  and  was  continued  to  them, 
to  mutual  satisfaction,  for  39  years ;  then  this  mortal  put  on  im- 
mortality. In  the  joyful  hope  of  a  glorious  resurrection,  he  de- 
parted this  life  Feb.  21,  181 1,  aged  63.  As  a  testimony  of  their 
grateful  remembrance  of  his  long  and  affectionate  services,  the 
Congregational  Society  to  whom  he  ministered,  have  erected  this 
monument. 

The  following  is  the  inscription  on  the  stone  which  marks  the 
grave  of  his  wife,  Hannah,  also  at  Deerfield: 

HANNAH    CONSORT    OF    THE    REV.    TIMOTHY    UP- 
HAM, 

Who  departed  this  life  Aug.  4,  1797,  in  the  44,  year  of  her  age. 

If  truth,  love,  virtue,  each  attractive  grace. 
That  warms  the  heart,  or  animates  the  face; 
If  tears,  or  sighs,  or  ardent  prayers  could  save 
The  kind,  the  generous,  from  the  silent  grave; 
Then  death,  relentless,  must  have  lost  his  prey, 
And  with  it  lost  his  cruel  power  to  slay 
One  who  shall  rise  and  shine  in  realms  above, 
Forever  happy  in  her  Savior's  love. 

(Written  by  Elizabeth  Champney  Williams.) 

Dr.  Upham,  in  the  Notices,  thus  refers  to  the  Rev.  Timothy, 
his  grandfather : 

"  Rev.  Timothy  Upham  was  six  feet  tall,  rather  spare,  but  per- 
fectly erect.  His  hair  was  black,  eyes  hazel,  nose  straight  and 
rather  promment,  and  his  teeth  perfect  till  the  day  of  his  death. 
His  voice  was  remarkably  melodious  and  powerful;  his  enuncia- 
tion was  clear  and  distinct.  His  mind  was  perfectly  balanced, 
his  judgment  excellent,  and  his  temper  though  naturally  quick, 
was  under  perfect  control.  Distinguished  for  the  rectitude  of  his 
character,  for  quiet  dignity,  and  constant  self-possession,  he  won 
the  admiration  of  his  people,  while  his  hospitality  and  benevolence, 
extending  to  the  very  verge  of  his  means,  awakened  their  love  and 
esteem.  His  professional  duties  were  to  him  a  source  of  constant 
pleasure,  and  were  performed  with  constant  assiduity.  His  teach- 
ings from  the  pulpit  were  chiefly  marked  by  the  exceeding  care 
and  anxiety  which  was  manifested  lest  he  should  vary  from  the 
revealed  doctrines  and  precepts  of  our  holy  religion,  and  be  guilty

of  preaching  anything  but  the  eternal  truth  of  God.  To  this 
feeling  was  joined  another,  equally  prominent — love  for  the  wel- 
fare of  the  immortal  spirit."

but  he  did  not  live  to  return;  he  d.  in  London,  Nov.  i,  1808. 
There  is  a  notice  of  Judge  Upham  in  Curwen's  Letters  and 
Journal;  also,  see  Joseph  Willard  s  address  before  the  members  of 
the  bar  of  Worcester  Co.,  Mass.,  1829;  also  the  May  number  of 
the  American  Quarterly  Register,  1841,  p.  413.  The  following 
is  an  extract  from  the  memoir  of  his  son  (Charles  W.  Upham), 
published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Mass.  Hist.  Soc,  Dec,  1876, 
by  Dr.  George  E.  Ellis. 

"  Joshua  Upham  was  born  in  Brookfield,  Mass.,  in  1741.  He 
graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1763.  In  view  of  the  agitations 
and  alienations  which  were  so  painfully  active  among  the  members 
of  that  class  when,  after  their  pleasant  fellowship  in  the  College, 
they  in  a  few  years  should  find  themselves  at  variance  in  the  en- 
trance of  their  manly  careers,  it  is  interesting  to  note  the  many 
names  on  the  list  which  are  associated  with  a  remarkable  personal 
history  on  both  sides  in  the  Revolutionary  strife.  There  stand  the 
names  of  the  honored  patriot,  Josiah  Quincy,  Jr.,  prematurely 
called  from  the  good  service  which  he  was  so  nobly  rendering;  of 
Nathan  Cushing,  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Mass.;  and  of 
Timothy  Pickering.  These  are  conspicuous  names  on  the  win- 
ning side.  There,  too,  is  the  name  of  a  neutral  or  a  mediator, — 
that  of  John  Jeffries,  who  returned  from  his  medical  studies  in 
Aberdeen,  just  as  our  strife  was  opening,  in  the  British  naval  ser- 
vice ;  went  off  with  Gen.  Howe,  as  surgeon  to  the  forces  in 
Nova  Scotia,  and  also  in  Charleston,  S.  C;  returned  to  England, 
crossed  the  British  Channel  to  France,  in  a  balloon ;  and  came 
back,  in  1789,  to  practise  his  profession  in  Boston.  The  names  of 
the  college  catalogue  then  arranged  in  the  order  of  social  rank. 
After  the  name  of  Upham  came  those  of  Jonathan  Bliss  —  after- 
wards Upham's  brother-in-law  —  and  of  Sampson  Salter  Blowers, 
these  three  being  all  refugees  in  the  war.  Upham  and  Bliss  be- 
came judges  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Province  of  New 
Brunswick,  Bliss  being  the  Chief  Justice  ;  nnd  Blowers,  Chief 
Justice  of  that  of  Nova  Scotia.  The  last  named  lived  beyond 
one  hundred  years  before  he  was  starred  in  tlie  catalogue.  Similar 
divergencies  may  be  traced  in  tlie  fortunes  of  the  classes  preced- 
ing and  following  that  of  1763.  They  contained  many  prominent 
men,  whose  careers  on  either  side  were  fond  subjects  of  interest 
and  study  to  the  subject  of  this  memoir,  as  they  illustrated  history 
and  character.

in  his  profession,  and  respected  for  public  spirit  as  a  citizen  up 
to  the  painful  crisis  in  his  lot.  It  is  remarkable  that,  while  those 
who  were  driven  to  the  royal  side,  as  he  was,  generally  accorded 
with  the  British  policy  in  the  suppression  of  manufacturing  en- 
terprises in  the  Colonies,  he  was  very  active  in  promoting  such 
provincial  industries.  In  March,  1768,  a  meeting  was  held  in 
Worcester  of  those  who,  indignant  with  the  prohibitory  measures 
of  England,  were  in  favor  of  advancing  manufactures.  The  fa- 
mous Ruggles  opposed  the  disloyal  movement;  but  Upham  ap- 
proved it.  He,  with  his  two  brothers  and  other  gentlemen,  had 
built  a  woolen  manufactory  in  Brookfield,  and  he  had  made  efforts 
to  introduce  the  manufacture  of  salt  at  stations  on  the  "sea-coast. 
But  he  fell  upon  distracted  times ;  and  there  can  be  no  harm  in 
saying  that,  like  many  others  in  the  country  of  a  class  of  so-called 
Loyalists,  who  were  at  worst  only  timid,  halting,  or  cautious,  while 
sincerely  upright,  conscientious,  and  patriotic,  he  received  un- 
merited harsh  treatment.  Committees  of  correspondence,  of  es- 
pionage and  inquisition,  became  very  active,  sometimes  overbear- 
ing and  impertinent,  in  every  town.  The  business  which  they 
assigned  to  themselves  was  to  put  the  question  of  King  or  People 
to  every  citizen,  especially  the  more  prominent  ones  in  place  or 
influence.  Hurry  and  dictation  were  offensive  to  some,  who 
needed  only  time  and  freedom  of  action  to  bring  them  into  accord 
with  the  popular  movements.  On  receiving  a  somewhat  imperious 
call  from  the  committee  of  his  town,  for  a  statement  of  his  opin- 
ions and  purpose  in  the  critical  state  of  affairs,  he  replied  by  a 
letter,  which  is  printed  in  Force's  'American  Archives,'  fourth 
series,  vol.  ii,  page  852,  dated  May  20,  1775.  In  this  letter,  he 
says  he  is  pausing  to  decide  on  the  position  which  he  shall  himself 
take,  until,  after  free  debate  and  a  proper  deliberation,  the  ma- 
jority of  the  people  have  committed  themselves  to  the  one  or  the 
other  alternative.  He  will  not  set  up  his  private  judgment  against 
that  of  the  people,  but  claims  a  right  to  express  his  own  views  and 
apprehensions  to  help  in  the  decision  of  the  question.  Then  he 
will  acquiesce  in  the  popular  resolve,  and  take  a  common  part  and 
lot  in  measures  designed  to  save  the  country  in  resisting  the  royal 
government,  though  he  may  think  such  measures  improper,  and 
not  likely  to  be  successful.  In  the  mean  while,  he  demanded  free- 
dom of  opinion,  and  security  for  person  and  property.  But  the 
intense  feelings  of  the  hour,  and  the  humor  of  his  fellow-citizens, 
would  not  admit  of  what  seemed  weak  and  cautious  temporizing, 
and  a  timid  mistrust  of  a  hopeful  cause.  The  coolness  of  treat- 
ment which  he  received,  with  threats  or  apprehensions  of  what 
might  follow,  drove  him,  as  they  did  many  others  under  like  cir-

cumstances,  to  the  protection  of  the  royal  sympathizers  in  Boston. 
This  act  decided  his  future  for  him.  Without  means  of  support 
for  himself  and  family  in  a  besieged  town,  he  accepted  from  the 
British  commander  the  office  of  supervision  of  the  refugees  from 
the  country,  and,  soon  after,  an  appointment  as  an  aide  on  the 
staff  of  Sir  Guy  Carleton,  subsequently  Lord  Dorchester,  between 
whom  and  himself  there  continued  a  warm  friendship.  The  clos: 
of  the  war  found  him  at  New  York  in  the  British  service  as  a 
colonel  of  dragoons.  He  was  among  the  proscribed  whose  estates 
were  confiscated  by  the  State  of  Mass.  in  1778;  and  nothing  but 
exile  was  before  him.*  Mr.  Upham  had  married,  first,  a  daughter 
of  Col.  John  Murray,  of  Rutland,  Mass.;  and,  on  her  decease,  a 
daughter  of  Hon.  Joshua  Chandler,  of  New  Haven,  Conn.  The 
latter  was  the  mother  of  the  subject  of  this  memoir  (Hon.  Chas. 
W.  Upham)  and  of  several  other  children.  The  stately  mansion 
of  her  father  was  afterwards  long  known  as  the  '  Tontine  Hotel,' 
in  New  Haven.  A  building  of  the  same  name  succeeds  it  on  the 
same  site.  Mr.  Upham 's  fine  homestead  in  Brookfield  long  served 
a  similar  use. 

"  Col.  Pickering  who  as  above  stated,  was  one  of  those  who  dis- 
approved the  summary  measures  pursued  towards  the  so-called 
Loyalists,  felt  a  sincere  sympathy  for  his  old  college  chum,  Up- 
ham. In  a  letter  he  wrote  to  a  friend  in  March,  1783,  he  says 
that  Upham  had  expressed  to  a  correspondent  in  Boston,  where 
he  had  left  a  daughter,  an  intention  of  returning  there ;  and  he 
adds,  '  Upham  is  a  good  hearted  fellow,  and  probably  would  not 
have  joined  the  enemy  but  for  his  marriage  connections.'  After 
the  close  of  hostilities,  and  during  the  long  delay  in  the  evacua- 
tion of  New  York,  Pickering,  who  had  hoped  to  have  a  friendly 
interview  with  Upham,  which  the  hurried  departure  of  the  latter 
prevented,  wrote  to  him  from  West  Point,  Nov.  14,  1783,  a  most 
cordial  letter  of  unbroken  regard  and  sympathy.  To  this  Upham, 
on  the  1 8th,  replied  in  the  same  spirit  of  kindness  and  esteem, 
saying,  '  I  leave  the  country  for  the  winter  from  pecuniary  con- 
siderations, not  from  resentment.' 

"  New  Bruswick,  which  had  been  a  county  of  Nova  Scotia,  called 
Sunbury,  was  separated  and  made  a  distinct  government  and  prov- 
ince in  1784.     At  the  first  organization  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 

*The  State  of  Massachusetts,  in  Sept.,  1778,  passed  "An  Act  to  prevent 
the  return  to  this  State  of  certain  persons  therein  named,  and  others  who 
have  left  this  State  or  either  of  the  United  States,  and  joined  the  Enemies 
thereof."  The  persons  named,  one  of  whom  was  "Joshua  Upham,  Esq.," 
were,  under  this  act,  if  they  returned,  to  "  Suffer  the  pains  of  death  without 
benefit  of  clergy."

the  Province,  Joshua  Upham  was  made  an  assistant  justice,  Nov. 
25,  1784.  He  was  also,  with  other  refugees,  on  the  council  of 
Thomas  Carleton,  Esq.,  who  was  commissioned  as  first  governor 
of  the  Province.  The  Judge  faithfully  and  ably  discharged  the 
arduous  duties  attendant  upon  the  tasks  assigned  to  him,  under 
the  conditions  of  a  rough  country  and  a  settlement  among  a  raw 
and  heterogeneous  population.  His  brethren  on  the  bench  sent 
him  to  England  in  1807,  on  a  mission  to  the  government,  for  se- 
curing a  more  complete  organization  of  the  judiciary  of  the  Prov- 
ince. He  met  with  perfect  success  in  the  purpose  of  his  errand. 
He  also  made  many  strongly  attached  personal  friends,  among 
whom  were  Mr.  Palmer,  who  bequeathed  his  valuable  library  to 
Harvard  College,  Sir  John  Wentworth,  Sir  William  Pepperrell, 
and  Mr.  Spencer  Perceval.  The  last-named  gentleman,  chancel- 
lor of  the  Exchequer,  formed  so  strong  a  regard  for  Mr.  Upham — 
who  died  in  London  in  1808,  and  was  buried  in  the  Church  of 
Marylebone — as  to  continue  acts  of  substantial  kindness  to  the 
widow  and  children,  whom  the  Judge  had  left  with  very  slender 
means.  The  chancellor,  a  few  days  before  his  assassination,  sent 
a  considerable  sum  of  money, —  four  hundred  silver  dollars, — 
with  books  and  other  valuable  gifts,  for  the  education  of  his 
youngest  son  Charles  W. 

"Judge  Upham 's  house  was  on  the  banks  of  the  Kenebekasis. 
The  scenes  around  it,  and  the  conditions  of  domestic  and  social 
life  which  it  involved,  were  for  several  years  rough  and  severe. 
Still,  they  had  their  compensations  in  the  occasions  for  activity, 
enterprise,  and   sterling  virtues  which  they  presented,  and  were 
especially  favorable  to  the  development  of  good  qualities  in  the 
children  born  and  trained  there  by  worthy  parents." 
Joshua  Upham  had,  by  first  wife,  Elizabeth  Murray : 
I  Isabella,  b.  Sept.  30,  1769;  d.  early.

was  published: 

"MRS.  SOPHIA  (UPHAM)  WINNIETT. 

"  When  Sir  Francis  Nicholson  made  the  final  capture 
of  Port  Royal  in  October,  1710,  a  young  volunteer,  a 
Frenchman  by  birth  and  a  Huguenot  by  religious  edu- 
cation, who  had  .iccompniiied  him  from  London,  was 
the  officer  called  upon  to  set  the  first  guard  in  the 
captured  town.  This  young  man's  name  was  William 
Wmniett,  the  great-grandfather  of  the  husband  of  Mrs. 
Sophia  Winniett.  Joseph  Winniett,  his  son,  married 
Mary  Dyson,  by  whom  he  had  William  Winniett,  who 
was  the  father  of  Susan  Winniett,  who  married  the  Rev. 
J.  T.  Twining,  of  H.ilifax,  Nova  Scotia,  Chaplain  of 
the  British  forces  in  Canada,  and  the  grandmother  of 
E.  H.  Twining  of  Chicago;  and  of  Alexander,  hus- 
band of  the  deceased,  and  of  Sir  William  Wolsley 
Winniett,  R.  N.,  who  died  while  Governor  of  the  Cape 
Coast  Colonies  in  Africa  a  few  years  ago.  This  is  the 
oldest  English  speaking  family  in  the  Dominion  of 
Canada,  and  the  daughter  and  surviving  child  of  the 
deceased  is  the  only  person  now  in  Nova  Scotia  who 
bears  the  name.  Paternally  the  late  Mrs.  Winniett  is 
of  American  Loyalist  descent,  her  father  having  him- 
self been  a  Loyalist.  In  1783  he  migrated  from  his 
old  colonial  home  over  the  border,  at  the  close  of  the 
Revolutionary  war,  in  which  he  served  against  the 
revolutionists,  to  New  Brunswick,  in  which  province 
he  afterwards  lived  and  died,  leaving  a  family  of  whom 
Sophia,  the  deceased  lady,  was  one  of  the  youngest. 
The  Parish  of  Upham  derives  its  name  from  him  on 
account  of  grants  of  land  made  to  him  as  a  reward  for 
services  in  the  war."

The  following  extract  from  the  Diary  of  Benjamin  Marston 
shows  some  of  the  service  which  Major  Upham  rendered  the 
Crown  in  1781.  Benjamim  Marston  was  a  relative  of  the  Wins- 
lows,  and  at  one  time  was  sheriff  of  Northumberland  county,  New 
Brunswick.  His  diary  has  onl^yr  lately  been  discovered,  and  con- 
tains much  historical  information  concerning  the  times  of  which 
he  wrote : 
'*New  York,  Thursday,  July  12,  1781. 

"  Lloyd's  Neck  attacked  by  the  French,  the  party  covered  by  a 
36  gun  frigate  and  the  Romulus  and  some  other  armed  vessels. 
*'  Saturday,  July  14. 

"  The  party  who  attacked  were  about  400.  They  were  defeated 
by  Major  Upham  who  commands  the  Post  at  the  Neck  with  some 
loss.  On  our  side  no  one  person  was  hurt.  This  Post  is  of  im- 
portance to  the  Garrison  supplying  it  with  quantities  of  fuel — not- 
withstanding it  was  ordered  a  few  days  ago  to  be  evacuated  by  ye 
troops  who  kept  post  there  and  but  for  the  entreaties  of  the  afore- 
mentioned Major  Upham  would  have  been  left  with  some  thou- 
sand cords  of  wood  a  prey  to  the  enemy. 

"  He  was  permitted  to  take  post  there  with  about  100  or  150 
Refugees.  With  this  handful  aided  by  the  crews  of  some  vessels 
who  were  there  a  wooding  he  defeated  the  enemy  who  came  to  take 
possession  of  it.  But  notwithstanding  the  importance  of  the  post, 
the  people  who  have  offered  their  services  to  keep  it,  cannot  obtain 
even  an  allowance  of  rations — at  the  same  time  a  very  elegant 
musick  house  is  built  at  Fort  George  and  subscriptions  are  taken 
at  Rivington's  office  at  a  guinea  a  piece  to  lay  out  a  walk  at  ye 
upper  fort  for  the  use  of  the  military  gentlemen." 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing  extracts  it  may  be  of  interest  to 
say  that  old  Mr.  Burnett,  of  Norton,  N.  B.,  who  was  at  Lloyd's 
Neck,  stated: 

"  The  Fort  on  Lloyd's  Neck  was  defended  by  the  Loyalists 
themselves.  They  used  to  go  up  the  hill  above  the  fort  to  cut  the 
wood  which  was  then  shipped  to  New  York,  for  the  use  of  the 
Royal  Army.  To  facilitate  their  work  they  constructed  a  slide,  or 
spout,  down  which  the  wood  was  thrown  as  it  was  cut.  When  the 
alarm  was  given  that  the  fort  was  about  to  be  attacked,  they  hur- 
ried with  all  speed  to  their  posts.  The  wood  cutters,  partly  from 
the  nature  of  their  work,  and  partly  from  the  exigencies  of  the 
times,  wore  sheep  skin  breeches.  On  the  occasion  of  the  alarm 
just  referred  to,  a  number  of  the  men  in  their  haste  to  defend  the 
post  slid  down  the  spout,  'and  I  tell  you,'  said  a  participant  in 
the  affair,  '  the  leather  breeches  were  pretty  hot.' "

stock, N.  B.,  where  he  was  one  of  the  early  settlers.  It  has  been 
a  matter  of  current  belief  among  some  of  his  posterity  in  N.  B., 
that  he  was  a  Loyalist  during  the  Revolution,  but  this  is  an  evident 
mistake —  the  year  of  his  enlistment,  and  his  age  are  on  the  com- 
pany roll;  this  impression  was  probably  owing  to  the  fact  that  his 
brother,  Judge,  and  Col.  Joshua,  was  a  prominent  Loyalist,  and 
also  settled  in  the  provinces  after  the  Revolution.  Jabez  Upham 
was  first  engaged  in  lumbering  at  Woodstock;  was  at  one  time 
high  sheriff,  and  also  had  the  title  of  lieut.  He  was  not  suc- 
cessful in  business  at  Woodstock,  and  finally  settled  in  Kings 
county,  where  he  obtained  land,  at  a  place  which  was  given  the 
name  of  Upham,  which  it  still  retains.  He  died  at  Upham,  Aug. 
3,  1832,  in  his  73d  year.  His  posterity  are  still  living  at  Upham, 
and  vicinity,  in  considerable  numbers.  Jabez  Upham  and  wife 
Bethia  had: 

I  Charlotte,  b.  Sept.  7,  1772,  at  Brookfield;  m.  Col. 
Richard  Ketchum,  of  Woodstock,  and  had  9  chil- 
dren. 

157  II  James,  b.  Sept.  9,  1774;  m.  Martha  Smith,  and  was  for 

many  years  a  magistrate,  and  collector  of  customs  at 
Woodstock. 

III  William,  b.  March  16,  1777;  m.  Betsey  Smith,  of  W. 

IV  Sarah,  b.  March  17,  1779;  d.  Nov.  23,  1853.

158  VI  Joshua,  b.  July  38,  1784;  lived  at  Upham,  and  d.  Feb.

later  generation,  writes :  "  We  cannot  say  when  they 
came  to  New  Brunswick,  but  find  in  an  old  book,  that 
Jabez  was  born  in  Vermont,  April  17,  1787.")

exercise  of  the  spirit  of  benevolence  and  kindness.  She  was  ex-

her  death  wad  announced,  in  exercise  of  those  high  parental  duties 
which  ever  devolve  upon  a  mother.  Her  sickness  was  protracted

III  Abby,  d.  unm.  in  Northampton,  March  4,  1830,  ae.  37. 

The  following  obituary  notice  was  published  in  the 
Northampton  Courier:  "Died:  March  4,  1830,  Miss 
Abby  Upham,  eldest  daughter  of  the  late  Edward 
Upham,  Esq.,  of  this  place.  Miss  Upham  possessed 
beyond  most  of  her  sex,  strength  and  understanding 
united  to  pure  and  elevated  impulses  of  heart;  endowed 
by  nature  with  a  mind  of  a  superior  order,  and  culti- 
vated as  such  a  mind  will  become,  in  spite  of  adverse 
circumstances,  she  exhibited  in  society  attractions  re- 
fined with  a  just  taste,  and  discriminating,  though  un- 
obtrusive knowledge.  By  an  early  bereavement  she 
was  left  without  a  natural  protector  or  guard,  to  meet 
and  repel  the  frowns  of  fortune,  and  the  cold  regards 
of  the  world.  With  a  clear  perception  of  the  obliga- 
tions which  her  situation  imposed,  and  a  persevering 
resolution  to  perform  whatever  duty  required,  she  sus- 
tained herself  when  most  would  have  faltered,  and 
many  might  have  fallen.  She  lived  to  meet  the  reward 
of  her  honorable  exertions,  in  comparative  prosperity, 
respect  and  attachment,  and  numerous  friends.  Her 
example  is  full  of  instruction  and  encouragement  to 
those  who  entering  on  life  with  fair  prospects,  and  high 
expectations,  find  them  all,  by  a  sudden  reverse  lev- 
elled in  the  dust.  Her  last  illness  was  protracted  and 
painful,  but  borne  with  that  fortitude,  which  an  un- 
wavering trust  in  the  Being  who  gave  her  life,  and  from 
whom  she  had  received  so  many  liberal  endowments, 
alone  could  inspire.  To  Him  she  cheerfully  resigned 
her  spirit,  in  the  humble  hope  and  trust  that  He  would 
gu'  ie  it  through  the  valley  of  death  to  eternal  life."

ence  to  the  family:  "  My  grandfather,  Luke,  was  a  good  deal  like 
his  father  in  his  earlier  years,  though  different  afterward;  he  was 
k^sown  in  his  youth  as  '  Wild  Luke,'  to  distinguish  him  from  lis 
uncle  Luke.  My  grandmother  was  a  little  older  than  her  husband, 
religious,  and  remarkably  well  read,  with  a  very  retentive  memory 
—  poetical,  somewhat  eccentric,  and  yet  with  much  foresight;  but 
she  was  a  business  manager,  like  her  mother-in-law.  Owin^  to 
my  grandfather's  recklessness,  they  had  at  times  pecuniary 
troubles,  though  always  comfortable.  Their  home  was  always  at- 
tractive by  its  quiet  neatness,  grandmother's  fine  conversational 
powers  and  great-grandfather's  humor;  comparatively  poor,  they 
helped  others  who  were  poorer,  and  later  they  reaped  their  re-

(Marshall)  Rugg  (widow  of  Daniel  of  Salem),  Sept.  10,  1845,  who 
d.  July  a6,  1873,  te.  87.  He  was  for  many  years  superintendent 
of  the  Chemical  Works  in  Salem,  and  d.  in  Salem,  July  20,  1858, 
in  his  74th  year.  He  was  buried  with  his  wife,  Mary  "'.ichols,  in 
the  old  Broad  St.  Cemetery,  in  the  family  tomb.  In  1885,  his  son 
(Rev.  James  Upham,  D.  D.,  of  Chelsea)  published  an  interesting 
little  book,  entitled  "  A  Sketch  of  the  Life  and  Character  of  Dea. 
Joshua  Upham,  of  Salem,"  which  contains  a  very  full,  complete, 
and  excellent  history  of  this  family,  including  all  the  descendants 
of  Dea,  Joshua  Upham.  The  same  author  also  furnished  the  fol- 
lowing shorter  sketch  of  the  life  and  character  of  Joshua  Upham 
for  these  pages : 

"  Deacon  Joshua  Upham  combined  in  his  character  many  of 
the  best  qualities  of  our  common  ancestor, —  independence,  self- 
reliance,  energy,  enterprise,  practical  sense,  and  an  all-controlling 
religiousness.  He  left  the  farm  upon  which  he  had  been  born, 
and  where  he  had  up  to  that  time  lived,  at  the  age  of  fifteen,  and 
went  to  Boston  with  the  purpose  of  learning  the  trade  of  a  mason. 
He  was  influenced  in  this  decision  by  the  knowledge  that  a  relative 
in  Boston  who  had  attained  to  wealth  and  social  position,  had  be- 
gun life  in  the  same  way.  But  before  finishing  his  apprenticeship, 
the  displeasure  of  his  master's  wife,  at  a  thoughtless  act  of  his, 
stung  his  proud  heart  to  the  quick,  and,  yielding  to  the  foolish 
impulse,  he  quit  his  master,  and  left  Boston  at  the  age  of  nineteen. 

"  He  says:  '  I  found  myself  in  Salem,  not  knowing  a  single  per- 
son, with  only  twenty  cents  in  my  pocket,  not  a  second  shirt  to 
put  on,  no  trowel  to  work  with,  and  half  my  money  spent  for  lodg- 
ing and  board  at  the  Sun  Tavern,' —  afterward  known  as  th^  E 
sex  House,  and  the  Lafayette  House. 

"  In  a  few  years  he  became  the  leading  master  mason  in  tow  . 
In  his  thirty-third  year  he  was  chosen  deacon  of  the  First  Bap 
Church  of  Salem,  retaining  his  office  and  discharging  its  dut  ' 
with  rare  fidelity  until  his  death  —  a  period  of  forty-one  yet 
The  same  year  he  was  appointed  superintendent  of  the  Chemical 
Works  of  the  Salem  Laboratory  Company.     The  latter  position, 
too,  he  filled  with  great  success,  until,  in  his  sixty-seventh  year,  he 
voluntarily  resigned  it. 

"  Although  a  decidedly  benevolent  man,  and  never  given  to  mere 
money  getting  —  and  at  the  same  time  bringing  up  a  large  family, 
on  whose  education  he  expended  much  —  he  left  a  competency  at 
his  death.  His  dominant  qualities  were  integrity  and  godliness  ; 
and  his  greatest  wish  in  his  children's  behalf  was  for  their  spiritual 
prosperity,  and  their  service  in  the  cause  of  Christ.  Three  of  his

children  became  ministers  of  the  gospel,  one  a  deacon,  one  the 
wife  of  a  minister,  and  another  the  wife  of  a  layman  in  Boston,  who 
by  his  wealth,  example,  counsel  and  large  ideas  of  Christian 
stewardship,  has  done  perhaps  as  much  as  any  one  in  that  city  to 
stir  the  churches  to  active  enterprise  in  their  work." 

In  the  family  history  already  mentioned,  the  Rev.  James  Upham 
says:  "Grandfather"  (Nichols)  "house,  in  which  I  and  probably 
all  the  children  older  than  myself  were  born.,  is  No.  i6  Cambridge 
St.  The  house  in  which  all  the  younger  children  than  myself  were 
born  is  No.  148  Federal  St.  Here,  on  the  garden,  which  reached 
to  the  river,  father  built  three  houses.  The  one  into  which  he  re- 
moved, and  in  which  he  died,  is  No.  17  Dean  St.,  the  one 
with  the  cupola  third  from  Federal  St.  The  old  homestead  was 
on  the  north-west  corner  of  Dean  and 
in  which  father  was  buried  was  built

She  was  twice  married  —  first  to  Mr.  George  W.

about  two  and  a  half  years  of  wedded  life,  during 
whidi  time  licr  chief  relationship  to  him  was  that  of 
a  lovinp;,  f.iithfnl  nurse.  In  1867  she  married  Mr. 
Henry  H.  N<irton,  of  Hoston.  F'ivc  years  later  he 
was  seized  with  sniali-pox.  then  so  prevalent  in  Hos- 
.,in  and  vicinity.  During  his  sickness  he  w.is  violently 
insane,  but  she  watched  over  him  with  the  most  as- 
siduous care.  He  was  not  at  that  time  a  Christian, 
and  her  importunate  prayer  was  that  God  would 
spare  his  life,  restore  his  health  and  bring  him  to 
a  saving  knowledj;e  of  Christ,  promising  cheerfully 
to  resign  him  whenever  God  should  again  call  for 
him  by  death.  God  fully  heard  her  prayer.  Her 
husband  recovered,  became  a  Christian,  witnessed 
a  good  confession,  and  died  three  years  later.  She 
fully  kept  her  promise,  not  even  asking  God  again 
to  spare  his  life,  though  very  tenderly  attached  to 
him.

great  satisfaction  over  the  household  of  Mr.  D.  S.

"  Her  nickness  was  protracted  and  painful,  and 
affected  her  mind  as  well  as  her  body.  But  her 
faith  and  hope  shone  through  the  rifts  in  the  cloud. 
In  the  early  part  of  her  sickness  she  said  to  her  sister- 
in-law,  '  1  have  never  once  asked  God  for  my  re- 
covery.'  In  all  her  lucid  moments  her  one  desire 
was  to  'depart.'  Her  last,  faint  words  were

Upham  Gknealogy. 


Hon.  Nathaniel  Upham  was  a  member  of  the  isth,  i6th,  and 
17th  Congresses  (1817  to  1823),  from  New  Hampshire.  His  eiu- 
cation  was  mainly  obtained  in  his  native  towu,  though  in  17^3,  he 
entered  the  academy  at  Exeter,  N.  H.,  where  he  remained  six 
months.  In  1794,  being  then  in  his  twentieth  year,  he  began  a 
mercantile  life  at  Gilmanton,  with  his  uncle,  the  Hon.  Nathaniel 
Gookin;  but  left  Gilmanton  in  1796,  and  commenced  business  for 
himself  in  Deerfield,  remaining  there  about  seven  yearj.  In  the 
spring  of  1801  he  closed  his  business  at  Deerfield,  and  recom- 
menced at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.  In  March,  1802,  he  removed  to 
Rochester,  in  Stmtford  Co.,  where  he  permanently  established 
h'inscif  in  mercantile  business,  and  of  which  place  he  remained  a 
I  ffiTA'i\  during  the  remainder  of  his  life.  In  his  business  he  was 
M  #U  times  etninently  successful,  but  his  natural  abilities  and 
ffndenci(  1  eventually  brought  him  into  prominent  public  life. 

He  represented  Rochester  in  the  State  Legislature,  during  the 
years  r8o/,  1808,  and  1809;  and  in  1811,  was  elected  counselor 
to  Gov.  /„(ngdon,  of  New  Hampshire;  in  1812,  he  was  again 
elected  to  the  same  office,  with  Gov.  Willianr  Plummer.  During 
th''  political  excitement  attending  the  approach  of  the  war  of 
18/ j(  /4,  and  the  days  of  the  Embargo,  he  was  an  active  member 
of  the  0(/f/'/sition,  or  Republican  party,  which  strongly  advocated 
a  second  war  with  Great  Britain,  sucii  a  war  being  thought  un- 
necessary, and  opposed  by  the  party  which  bore  the  distinctive 
name  of  Federal.  In  1813,  on  the  passage  of  the  act  of  Congress 
for  direct  taxation,  he  was  appointed  collector  for  his  district,  by 
President  Madison,  but  he  de'^lined  the  appointment.  In  18/4 
he  was  nominated  for  Congress,  the  ticket  being  headeo: — 
"  Free  American  Ticket ! 
Union  of  the  State  —  Union  of  the  People. 
No  Submission  to  British  Re-Colonization  ! !    United  we  Stand, — 

Divided  we  Fall." 

The  opposing  ticket  contained  the  name  of  Daniel  Webster,  and 
that  ticket  was  elected  to  the  14th  Congress;  bi  *  it  was  the  last 
triumph  of  that  party  in  the  State. 

With  the  return  of  the  New  Hampshire  soldiers,  after  t!  close 
o'  the  war  with  England,  the  Republican  party  readily  rega.ned  its 
ascendancy  in  the  political  contest  of  1816.  Their  Congressional 
ticket,  bearing  the  name  of  Nathaniel  Upham  and  five  others, 
was  elected  to  the  15th  Congress  by  a  lai'ge  majority,  James 
Monroe  having  been  chosen  President  of  the  United  States.  Mr. 
Upham  took  his  seat  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  at  the  open- 
ing of  Congress,  Dec.  i,  1817.     The  following  account  of  the  ser- 


Upham  Genealogv. 


17s 


vices  of  Mr.  Upham  in  Congress  is  almost  a  verbatim  extract  from 
pages  of  his  son,  Dr.  Albert  Gookin  Upham's  book,  on  the  family 
history  of  this  branch,  already  frequently  referred  to. 

In  his  annual  message,  which  was  transmitted  to  both  Houses 
of  Congress  on  the  day  after  the  assembling  of  the  15th  Con- 
gress, the  subject  of  Amelia  Island  was  laid  before  them  by  the 
President. 

Amelia  Island,  at  the  mouth  of  St.  Mary's  river,  near  the  bound- 
ary of  the  State  of  Georgia,  was  taken  possession  by  an  expedition 
of  persons  claiming  to  act  under  the  authority  of  some  of  the 
Spanish  colonies,  which,  at  that  time,  were  striving  to  establish 
their  independence.  The  expedition  seems  to  have  been  a  mere 
private,  unauthorized  adventure.  The  island  was  made  a  channel 
for  the  illicit  introduction  of  slaves  from  Africa  into  the  United 
States ;  an  asylum  for  fugitive  slaves  from  the  neighboring  States ; 
and  for  banditti,  privateersmen,  and  smugglers  of  various  nations. 
A  committee  was  appointed  in  reference  to  this  subject,  of  which 
Mr.  Upham  was  a  member. 

The  committee  reported  on  the  9th  of  January,  in  favor  of 
efficient  measures  for  suppressing  the  establishment ;  and  said  in 
their  report:  "  The  course  pursued  on  this  occasion  will  strongly 
mark  the  feelings  and  intentions  of  our  government  on  the  great 
question  of  the  slave  trade,  which  is  so  justly  considered  by  most 
civilized  nations  a  practice  repugnant  to  justice  and  humanity, 
and  which,  in  our  particular  case,  is  not  less  so  to  all  the  dictates 
of  a  sound  policy." 

On  the  13th  of  the  same  month,  the  President,  by  a  special 
message,  informed  Congress  that  the  establishment  at  Amelia 
Island  had  been  suppressed,  "  and  the  consummation  of  a  project, 
fraught  with  much  injury  to  the  United  States,  prevented."  The 
committee  on  Amelia  Island  also  reported  a  bill,  in  addition  to  the 
former  acts,  prohibitinj:  the  introduction  of  slaves  into  the  United 

(///  the  yAii  of  January,  Mr.  Upham  voted  against  the  bill  mak- 
ing more  uti^At:  provision  for  the  recovery  of  fugitive  slaves,  which 
passed  by  a  majority  of  14  votes. 

Atiinna  the  most  important  of  the  votes  which  he  gave  during 
the  session  were,  his  vote  Dec.  10,  for  the  repeal  of  internal 
duties;  on  January  "5,  against  reducing  the  pay  of  members 
from  nin'  dollars  per  day  to  six,  and  in  favor  of  reducing  it  from 
nine  to  eight  ,  on  January  25,  for  the  rejection  of  a  bill  establish- 
ing a  uniform  system  of  bankruptcy  throughout  the  United  States, 
which  was  lost  by  a  majority  of  12.     On  March  14  he  voted  for

the  following  resolution  :  "  That  Congress  has  power  under  the 
Constitution  to  appropriate  money  for  the  construction  of  post 
roads,  military  and  other  roads,  and  for  the  improvement  of  water- 
courses ;  "  which  resolution  was  passed  by  a  vote  of  90  against  75. 

President  Monroe,  on  the  17th  of  Nov.,  181 7,  transmitted  his 
annual  message  to  both  Houses  of  Congress.  Mr.  Upham  was 
appointed  a  member  of  the  committee  on  the  illicit  introduction 
of  slaves  into  the  United  States ;  which  committee,  on  the  13th  of 
January,  reported  an  act  in  addition  to  its  former  acts,  for  the  pro- 
hibition of  the  slave  trade  ;  and  Congress  passed  a  bill  authorizing 
the  employment  of  the  armed  vessels  of  the  United  States  to  cruise 
on  the  coast  of  Africa,  to  enforce  the  acts  of  Congress  prohibiting 
the  slave  trade. 

The  question  of  the  admission  of  Missouri  into  the  L^nion  being 
before  the  House  of  Representatives,  on  Feb.  t6,  Mr.  Upham 
voted  for  the  following  amendment  to  the  bill:  "That  the  further 
introduction  of  slavery  or  involuntary  servitude  be  prohibited,  ex- 
cept for  the  punishment  of  crimes  whereof  the  party  shall  have 
been  convicted,"  which  passed  by  a  vote  of  87  to  76. 

On  the  i8th  of  February,  the  House  proceeded  to  consider  a 
bill  for  the  establishment  of  a  separate  territorial  government  in 
the  southern  part  of  the  Missouri  Territory  —  a  territory  which 
now  constitutes  the  State  of  Arkansas.  Mr.  Taylor,  of  New  York, 
moved  to  amend  the  same  by  inserting  the  following  proviso ; 
"  All  children  born  of  slaves  within  the  said  territory  shall  be  free, 
but  may  be  held  to  service  until  the  age  of  twenty-five  years," 
which  amendment  was  carried  by  a  vote  of  75  to  73.  A  motion 
was  afterward  made  to  recommit  the  bill,  with  instructions  to  the 
committee  to  amend  by  striking  out  that  clause.  The  vote  stood 
88  to  88,  and  was  decided  in  the  affirmative  by  the  Speaker.  Mr. 
Upham  voted  against  the  bill  as  thus  amended.  It  passed  by  a 
majority  of  2  votes. 

During  this  second  session  of  the  isth  Congress  the  State  of 
Illinois  was  declared  admitted  to  the  Union,  and  the  President 
was  authorized  to  take  possession  of  Florida,  agreeably  to  the 
treaty  of  the  22d  of  Feb.,  1819.  The  15th  Congress  ended  on 
the  3d  of  March,  1819. 

The  i6th  Congress  commenced  on  Monday,  the  16th  day  of 
December,  ?t8i9.  During  the  second  session  of  the  15th  Con- 
gress, a  bill  providing  for  the  admission  of  Missouri,  which  con- 
tained a  clause  prohibiting  slavery  in  the  proposed  State,  was 
passed  by  a  vote  of  87  to  76.  On  the  ist  of  March,  1820,  the 
House  of  Representatives  again  passed  a  similar  bill  by  a  vote  of

91  to  82  ;  for  both  of  which  bills  Mr.  Upham  voted.  The  restric- 
tion as  to  slavery  was  stricken  out,  however,  by  the  Senate,  and 
the  House,  at  a  late  hour  on  the  following  night,  agreed  to  the 
amendment,  hy  a  vote  of  90  to  87.  Mr.  Upham  voted  against  the 
amended  bill,  which  was  passed  by  a  majority  of  3  only;  and 
had  every  member  of  the  House  been  present  and  voted,  it  is  be- 
lieved the  vote  would  have  stood  92  to  92.  This  bill,  as  usual, 
provided  for  the  admission  of  Missouri  wlienever  she  should  frame 
a  constitution  acceptable  to  Congress. 

The  second  session  of  the  i6th  Congress  opened  on  the 
13th  day  of  Dec,  1820.  Mr.  Clay  having  resigned  the  office  of 
Speaker  of  the  House,  it  was  not  till  the  third  day  of  an  animated 
contest,  and  at  the  twenty-second  balloting,  that  his  place  was 
filled.  William  Lowndes,  a  distinguished  statesman  of  South 
Carolina,  received  42  votes,  and  John  W.  Taylor  76,  one  vote 
more  than  was  necessary  for  a  choice  over  all  the  other  candidates, 
and  was  accordingly  elected.  During  this  contest  Mr.  Upham's 
influence  was  exerted  with  effect  in  favor  of  Mr.  Taylor. 

The  next  day  Mr.  Lowndes,  of  the  select  committee  to  whom 
was  referred  the  constitution  formed  for  their  government  by  the 
people  of  Missouri,  reported  a  resolve  setting  forth  that  Missouri 
had  complied  with  the  act  of  the  6th  of  March,  1820,  and  formed 
a  republican  government,  and  declaring  her  admission  into  the 
Union.  Then  ensued  a  strife  equally  stormy  with  that  which  had 
prevailed  during  the  previous  session,  on  the  same  subject.  On 
Wednesday,  Dec.  14,  the  resolve  for  the  admission  of  Missouri 
into  the  Union  was  rejected,  by  a  vote  of  93  to  79.  Finally,  at 
the  close  of  the  session,  Mr.  Clay,  from  the  joint  committee,  re- 
ported a  resolve  for  the  admission  of  Missouri,  which  passed  by  a 
vote  of  87  to  81. 

During  the  whole  of  this  long  and  exciting  discussior,  through 
three  terms  of  Congress,  and  in  which  the  public  mind  v^^as  inter- 
ested to  a  degree  without  precedent  or  example  since,  Mr.  Upham's 
vote  was  throughout  recorded  against  the  extension  of  slavery. 

He  also  voted,  during  this  session,  for  a  resolve,  introduced  by 
Mr.  Clay,  that  the  House  of  Representatives  would  give  its  con- 
stitutional support  to  the  President,  whenever  he  should  deem  it 
expedient  to  recognize  the  independence  of  the  Spanish  provinces 
of  South  America,  which  passed  by  a  vote  of  87  to  68.  While  a 
member  of  this  Congress,  he  also  voted  for  the  admission  of  Ala- 
bama and  Maine  into  the  Union. 

In  1821   Mr.  Upham  was  elected  representative  for  the  third 
time,  and  thereby  became  a  member  of  the   17th   Congress;

that  is,  a  member  of  the  House  for  the  sessions  of  1821-22,  and 
1822-23.  There  were  but  few  subjects  of  importance  or  interest 
on  which  the  17  th  Congress  was  called  to  legislate.  Neverthe- 
less, on  the  23d  of  February,  1823,  on  motion  of  Hon.  Charles 
Fenton  Mercer,  then  jf  Virginia,  the  following  resolve  was  adopted 
by  the  House  of  Representatives : 

Resolved,  That  the  President  of  the  United  States  be  requested  to 
enter  upon  and  prosecute,  from  time  to  time,  such  negotiations  with 
the  several  maritime  powers  of  Europe  and  America,  as  he  may 
deem  expedient  for  the  effectual  abolition  of  the  African  slave 
trade,  and  its  ultimate  denunciation  as  piracy,  under  the  laws  of  na- 
tions, by  the  consent  of  the  civilized  world. 

This  act  was  th  ■  fruit  of  much  counsel  and  long  deliberation, 
and  was  postponed  from  previous  Congresses,  to  secure  more 
unanimity,  in  order  to  give  more  solemn  and  imposing  dignity  to 
this  national  condemnation  of  the  slave  trade,  and  the  appeals 
in  consequence  to  be  addressed  to  the  civilized  world.  Many  of 
the  legislator'  who  voted  for  this  act  regarded  it  as  one  of  the 
most  memorable  transactions  in  their  political  lives. 

This  measure,  supported  by  Mr.  Upham  and  by  many  others 
of  the  most  patriotic  and  distinguished  statesnier  of  that  day,  was 
passed,  131  members  voting  for  the  resolve,  '.nd  only  3  against  it. 
The  Congress  of  the  United  States  having  thus,  of  all  the  legislative 
bodies,  assumed  the  initiative  in  this  ma.ter,  exerted  its  influence 
with  other  countries  so  efficiently,  that  the  slave  trade  was  speed- 
ily declared  piracy  by  the  law  of  nations. 

The  17th  Congress  closed  its  session  on  the  ji  of  March,  1823 
Previous  to  this,  Mr.  Upham  had  declined  to  become  again  a 
candidate  for  the  office  which  he  had  so  honorably  filled  for  the 
last  six  years;  and,  bidding  adieu  to  Congress  and  public  life,  he 
returned  to  the  quiet  of  his  village  and  the  bosom  of  his  family. 

There  were  many  reasons  why  Mr.  Upham  wished  to  withdraw 
from  public  life.  His  health  had  been  seriously  injured  by  the 
climate  at  Washington,  and  by  an  attack  of  inflammation  of  the 
lungs  there  in  the  spring  of  1820.  He  had,  moreover,  observed, 
that  causes  were  in  operation  which  must  produce  great  and  funda- 
mental changes  in  the  political  aspect  of  the  country;  that  events, 
to  which  the  then  existing  parties  owed  their  origin,  were  begin- 
ning to  lose  their  power,  and  the  progress  of  time  was  developing 
new  interests,  which  would  again  convulse  the  State,  and  become 
the  source  of  new  political  organizations.  Mr.  Upham  had  acted 
an  important  part  during  these  transition  states  of  the  Republic, 
and  knew  well  the  violence  of  the  struggles  which  accompany  the

change.  Therefore,  enfeebled  in  health,  and  needing  repose,  he 
determined  to  retire  completely  from  public  life,  at  a  period  when 
the  political  storm  was  yet  distant. 

The  storm  came,  but  Mr.  Upham,  personally  acquainted  with 
the  candidates  for  the  presidency,  and  clearly  appreciating  the 
principles  which  they  represented,  chose  rather  by  precept  and 
example  to  calm  the  fury  of  political  strife  and  soften  the  bitter- 
ness of  party  feeling,  than  to  bejome  personally  engaged  in  the 
combat.  He  steadily  pursued  this  course  during  the  violent  con- 
test between  Mr.  Adams  and  Gen.  Jackson.  In  every  position 
in  which  he  was  placed  he  maintained,  with  dignity  and  skill,  the 
ground  which  he  had  taken. 

In  1828,  the  year  preceding  his  death,  his  son-in-law,  Hon. 
David  Barker,  representativ  j  in  Congress  from  the  district  pre- 
viously represented  by  Mr.  Upham,  addressed  the  Whigs  assembled 
at  Rochester,  on  the  anniversary  of  our  national  independence. 
His  address  was  an  eloquent  exposition  of  the  position  of  the  par- 
ties at  that  time,  and  was  followed  by  a  public  dinner,  at  which 
Mr.  Upham  presided.  At  this  period  political  feeling  was  run- 
ning high,  and  it  was  hoped  that  Mr.  Upham  would  take  the 
occasion  to  designate  his  views  in  relation  to  the  opposing  parties. 
But  this  he  avoided,  and  on  rising  contented  himself  with  offer- 
ing the  following  sentiment:  "  Our  next  President," —  an  ^  pausing 
a  moment  till  the  attention  of  all  was  excited,  he  continued:  "  May 
he  be  a  man  who  shall  reverence  the  Constitution  and  the  laws." 
A  sentiment  which  instantly  commended  itself  to  all  present,  and 
was  received  with  great  applauoe. 

Early  in  the  summer  of  i"  9  Mr.  Upham  was  attacked  with  a 
bilious  fever,  followed  by  a.;  -'ganic  disease  of  the  liver,  which 
terminated  his  life  on  the  mc  .irig  of  the  loth  of  July,  1829,  being 
55  years  and  i  month  old.     He  was  buried  at  Rochester. 

Having  reference  to  his  relations  with  his  fellow  townsmen,  and 
his  general  and  personal  characteristics,  his  son  says: 

"  In  his  local  duties  as  a  citizen,  he  was  especially  active  in  devis- 
ing good,  and  in  his  efforts  for  the  prospective  improvement  of  so- 
ciety. Throughout  his  residence  in  Rochester  he  had  taken  a  deep 
interest  in  the  promotion  of  education,  and  especially  in  the  pros- 
perity of  the  viii  Te  schools.  He  procured  for  them  the  best 
teachers,  and  indu  °d  many  co  "ducate  their  sons,  who  otherwise 
would  not  havedO'  so;  and  in  accordance  with  his  views  on  this 
subject,  five  of  his  own  children  received  a  collegiate  education. 

"  He  was  a  firm  and  liberal  supporter  of  religious  institutions, 
and  ministers  of  religion  ev"  found  a  cordial  welcome  at  his

home.  He  never  united  with  the  church;  truly  consoling,  how- 
ever, were  the  hopes  of  his  friends  in  his  death.  Some  time  pre- 
vious to  his  decease,  having  received  a  visit  from  a  clergyman,  he 
requested  that  he  would  pray  for  him.  '  How  shall  I  pray  for 
you  ? '  replied  the  minister.  '  Pray  for  me  as  a  penitent  sinner,' 
was  his  answer  —  an  answer  ladened  with  hopes  of  heaven. 

"  He  was  six  feet  and  four  inches  high,  well  formed  and  per- 
fectly erect;  in  middle  life  his  hair  was  black,  his  forehead  was 
high,  his  eyes  blue,  his  nose  Roman,  and  complexion  clear. 
Morse's  celebrated  picture  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  which 
was  painted  while  he  was  in  Congress,  contains  an  accurate  like- 
ness of  him. 

"  His  character  was  such  that,  in  whatever  sphere  he  was  called 
to  act,  he  won  the  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  endowed 
with  strong  reasoning  powers,  together  with  a  remarkable  quick- 
ness of  perception.  He  was  also  distinguished  for  his  strength  of 
memory;  and  would  repeat  numerous  texts,  with  prominent  por- 
tions of  discourses,  which  he  had  heard  in  his  early  youth.  He 
was  fond  of  theological  investigations,  a  taste  for  which  he  had 
imbibed  while  listening  at  the  fireside  of  his  father  to  discussions 
on  doctrinal  theology,  so  prevalent  at  that  period.  On  all  subjects 
he  was  a  formidable  adversary  to  encounter  in  an  argument  —  an 
excrcisc  to  which  he  was  naturally  inclined,  and  which  was  pecu- 
liarly c-lciTlated  to  call  out  the  powers  of  his  intellect.  It  was  a 
Ci-nu'-o).  remark  that  no  one  ever  worsted  him  in  debate;  for,  if  he 
foiled  lo  convince  the  judgment,  he  was  sure,  by  his  wit  and  skill 
at  rep.\rtee,  to  win  the  applause  of  the  audience.  He  possessed 
great  foresight  and  sound  judgment,  and  was  distinguished  for  an 
untiring  perseverance  in  whatever  he  undertook.  He  not  only 
won  the  esteem,  and  was  relied  upon  in  a  trying  crisis  in  the 
country's  history,  as  a  leader  among  his  own  particular  friends, 
and  tuv.'ir  favorite  candidate  for  four  successive  Congresses,  but 
he  commanded  equally  the  respect  and  regard  of  his  political 
opponents.  In  all  the  relations  of  life  his  integrity  was  unim- 
peachable, and  his  death  has  left  a  void  in  the  community  which 
has  been  most  deeply  lamented." 

The  following  is  a  brief  extract  from  the  remarks  of  Dr.  Upham 
with  reference  to  his  mother: 

"  Mrs.  Judith  (Cogswell)  Upham,  who  survived  her  husband 
several  years,  was  admitted  to  communion  with  the  Congregational 
Church  in  Rochester,  May  8,  1831;  she  died  on  Sunday  morning, 
April  30,  1837,  aged  61  years,  i  month  and  4  days.  She  was  an 
only  daughter,  and  received  her  education  almost  entirely  in  her

father's  house;  this  home  had  \  en  lor  her  a  school  of  benevo- 
lence, in  which  she  had  fre'  ly  and  readily  learned  the  great  lesson 
of  love  for  all  man   ind;  a     '  it  was  the  deep  and  natural  impulse

medical  lectures  in  Albany  and  Castleton,  and  re- 
ceived in  the  latter  institution,  in  1842,  the  appoint- 
ment of  Prof,  of  Pathological  Anatomy.  He  sailed 
for  Europe  in  the  autumn  of  1842,  to  prosecute  his 
studies  in  Paris,  where  he  remained  until  the  spring 
of  1844;  then  making  a  tour  of  the  Continent,  he 
returned  and  settled,  in  1844,  as  a  physician  in  Bos- 
ton, Mass.,  where  he  died  after  a  brief  illness,  June 
16,  1847.  His  death  was  a  great  sorrow  to  his 
family  and  friends,  and  a  great  loss  to  the  medical 
profession.  (The  foregoing  from  the  Cogswell  Gene- 
alogy.) In  Oct.,  1845,  Dr.  Upham  published  the 
first  that  had  ever  been  published  on  the  genealogy 
of  the  Uphams  in  the  United  States,  a  small  volume 
containing  102  pages,  entitled  "  Notices  of  the  Life 
of  John  Upham,  the  First  Inhabitant  of  New  Eng-

count of  such  of  his  Descendants  as  were  the  An-

Upham  Genialogy. 


N.  H.;  with  a  short  sketch  of  the  Life  of  the  Latter." 
The  material  which  was  gathered  by  Dr.  Upham  at 
that  time  has  been  the  basis  of  all  that  has  since 
been  written  upon  the  origin  of  the  Uphams  in  this 
country,  or  any  branch  of  them.  But  for  the  pages 
of  this  little  book,  it  is  quite  positive  this  genealogy 
would  not  have  been  compiled;  and  those  of  the 
Upham  posterity  who  are  interested  in  this  subject 
may  feel  that  they  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  his 
memory.  It  is  said  that  with  his  death  went  out  a 
fund  of  valuable  information  concerning  the  Uphams

EARLY  ROCHESTER  SKETCHES. 

Twenty  years  ago  there  was  a  stately  old  mansion  on  Main 
street  in  our  village,  that  was  the  pride  of  the  older  residents  of 
Norway  Plains,  and  the  admiration  of  all  lovers  of  the  antique  in 
house  architecture.  It  occupied  a  lot  nearly  opposite  the  Congre- 
gational church,  and  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  had  each  morning 
smiled  recognition  to  the  old  meeting-house  over  the  way,  or  ever 
since  the  latter  had  taken  its  march  from  the  common  to  its  pre" 
ent  location.  The  "  goodly  dwelling  "  stood  back  a  proper  . 
tance  from  the  street,  and  was  two  stories  in  height,  pamted  wifi 
with  green  blinds.  A  fine  old  porch,  built  after  that  quaint  fashion 
that  house  builders  style  "  closed  in,"  graced  the  front,  and  elegant 
workmanship  was  displayed  about  it,  from  the  wide  paneled 
door  with  its  big  brass  handle  and  great  knocker,  also  of  brass, 
and  fan-light  with  gilded  blind,  to  the  delicate  railing  on  top. 
Over  the  porch  woodbine  wandered,  creeping  through  the  railing, 
while  below  on  the  old  terrace,  in  front  of  the  house,  myrtle,  the 
old-fashioned  ivy-leaved,  blue  flowered,  grew  in  profusion,  cover- 
ing the  banks  completely,  the  starry  blossoms  in  early  spring  ex- 
pressing their  language  of  love.  A  paved  walk  of  brick  led  in 
through  the  grassy  yard  up  to  the  entrance  door,  where  were  stone 
steps,  hammered  in  ancient  fashion  and  as  solid  as  the  foundation 
of  the  old  mansion  itself. 

This,  reader,  was  the  "  Old  Upham  mansion,"  as  it  was  desig- 
nated by  the  villagers,  and  was  to  Rochester  what  the  Governor 
Langdon  mansioQ  is  to-day  to  Portsmouth  —  the  finest  of  its  early

residences,  and  which  I  did  not  fail  to  pass  by  on  the  occasion  of 
my  visit  to  the  old  town  last  summer,  that  I  have  never  before 
spoken  of  in  my  sketches. 

Nathaniel  Upham,  who  erected  the  Upham  house,  came  to 
Rochester  about  the  year  1802,  and  was  an  early  merchant  here, 
after  people  had  begun  to  choose  Norway  Flams  as  a  place  for 
business  mstead  of  old  Haven  Hill,  the  early  settlement.  That 
old  place  had  begun  to  decline  ;  there  was  no  water-power  there, 
and  here  could  be  found  the  finest  needed  for  grist-mills,  saw-mills 
or  for  any  manufacturing  purposes.  Yet  what  year  Mr.  Upham 
built  his  residence  I  am  unable  to  tell,  but  it  was  about  the  time 
the  Woodman  mansion  was  erected,  or  a  little  later.  Indeed, 
there  is  an  old  tradition  that  a  man,  name  unknown  to  me,  com* 
menced  to  build  the  last  named  and  failed  up.  Lawyer  Woodman 
and  Upham  both  fancied  it,  but  the  lawyer  "won  the  day,"  as 
lawyers  usually  do,  when  Mr.  Upham  declared  he  would  build  one 
that  should  eclipse  it.  His  domicile  was  not  so  showy  in  the  ex- 
terior, but  the  interior  was  made  finer  and  the  house  was  in  reality 
the  nicest  one,  the  materials  and  the  workmanship  being  of  the 
best,  the  latter  exquisite  in  the  spacious  front  parlors. 

Mr.  Upham  was  one  of  the  old-time  merchants,  they  used  to 
be  called  traders  then,  and  he  kept  in  his  store  every  thing  called 
for  by  the  public,  from  a  gentleman's  silk  pocket  handkerchief  to 
a  hogshead  of  rum.  He  was  courteous  and  affable,  and  in  this 
way  drew  much  custom  and  trade  to  his  store,  which  was  some 
little  ways  above  his  house  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  street.  He 
probably  entered  the  store  previous  to  the  dwelling,  but  he  came, 
I  think,  as  I  said  before,  in  1802.  He  was  a  native  of  Deerfield, 
and  had  been  nrith  his  brother  Timothy  Upham  in  his  store  at 
Portsmouth,  where  he  learned  the  trade,  for  trade  it  is. 

In  those  times  Rochester  had  a  large  trade  with  the  up-country 
people,  those  who  lived  above  the  lake,  and  even  to  the  Connecti- 
cut river.  Portsmouth  was  usually  their  destination,  though  many 
went  to  Dover  with  their  butter,  cheese,  etc.,  while  others  stopped 
at  Rochester,  particularly  if  it  happened  to  be  late  in  the  season 
when  they  arrived,  or  the  sleighing  poor.  I  fancy  there  are  many 
persons  living  in  the  village  to-day  who  can  recollect  the  long  file 
of  teams.  It  was  like  a  procession,  the  strong  horses  attached  to 
great  pungs  driven  by  thrifty  farmers  traveling  together  on  their 
way  to  market.    Alas !  they  will  be  seen  no  more  ! 

Mr.  Upham's  mercantile  life  occasioned  frequent  visits  to  Ports- 
mouth and  also  journeys  to  Boston,  yet  to  the  last-named  city  I 
think  he  went  not  oftener  than  twice  a  year.  The  journey  was  a 
24

long  one  then.  It  took  much  more  time  than  it  does  now,  but 
when  the  old-time  merchant  returned  from  the  above-named  bus- 
iness centers  he  had  much  interesting  news  to  communicate  to  his 
customers,  for  he  was  a  keen  observer  and  ready  talker,  and  one 
thing  that  I  always  admired  in  the  man,  he  was  not  a  jealous  per- 
son and  enjoyed  a  jest  and  a  laugh.  He  also  did  not  mind  repeat- 
ing a  joke  at  his  own  expense. 

In  person  he  was  tall  and  his  limbs  very  long,  yet  he  carried 
himself  well  and  was  a  real  gentleman  of  the  old  school.  It  used 
to  be  remarked  that  he  was  a  "  gentleman  trader,"  while  he  always 
wore  ruffled  bosomed  shirts  like  the  aristocratic  Portsmouth  mer- 
chants, and  enjoyed  smoking  his  cigar  every  morning  before  his 
place  of  business.  He  was  one  of  the  first  men  of  his  adopted 
town,  and  was  well  and  favorably  known  in  the  State.  I  think 
old  Norway  Plains  never  had  a  more  public-spirited  citizen  or 
successful  business  man  than  "  Squire  Upham,"  as  he  grew  to  be 
known.  He  became  interested  in  political  affairs,  and  in  i8ii-ia 
was  a  member  of  the  governor's  council.  In  1817  he  was  chosen 
a  representative  to  Congress  from  our  first  district.  It  wa-  an 
honor  fitly  bestowed  and  he  represented  for  three  consecacive 
terms,  from  18 17  to  1823,  the  old  first  district  ably,  faithfully  and 
honorably.  Of  course  he  was  known  at  Washington  as  Hon. 
Nathaniel  Upham,  M.  C,  from  New  Hampshire,  and  passed  his 
winters  at  the  capital  along  with  other  prominent  men  of  the 
country. 

The  store  was  kept  running  all  the  same  at  Norway  Plains  dur- 
ing his  absence  from  Rochester,  his  clerk  being  a  young  man 
polite  and  obliging,  named  John  Chapman,  good  looking  and  in- 
telligent also,  who,  I  believe,  came  trom  Northwood,  a  town  near 
Congressman  Upham's  early  home.  Young  Chapman  afterward 
married  Miss  Louisa  Barker,  the  daughter  of  David  Barker,  an 
early  and  influential  resident  of  Rochester,  while  Mr.  Upham's 
daughter,  Mary,  had  married  David  Barker,  Jr.,  who  several  years 
later  was  the  congressman  from  the  same  district  as  his  father-in- 
law,  representing  it  from  1827  to  1829,  and  being  one  of  Roches- 
ter's ablest,  young  lawyers. 

Nathaniel  Upham  married  Judith  Cogswell  of  Gilmanton.  She 
was  the  daughter  of  Hon.  Thomas  Cogswell,  and  the  family  is 
one  of  honorable  mention  in  our  State  like  the  Wentworth  family. 
Mrs.  Upham  was  a  true  woman,  and  a  lady  beloved  by  all  who 
knew  her.  She  is  said  to  have  been  above  the  medium  height 
and  quite  portly  in  person,  with  a  kind,  motherly  face  and  pleasmg 
manner.     As  mistress  of  the  beautiful  Upham  mansion  her  social

success  was  great.  I  am  not  certain  that  she  accompanied  her 
husband  to  Washington  during  his  congressional  career,  but  she 
was  fitted  to  adorn  any  position  in  life. 

The  Upham  children  were  1 1  in  number,  7  sons  and  4  daugh< 
ters,  "They  were  handsome  because  they  looked  intelligent," 
says  an  old  resident,  and  I  think  there  is  much  in  that  remark  to 
think  about.  Yet  they  were  a  family  of  great  ability.  One  little 
daughter,  Hannah  Elizabeth,  died  in  infancy;  the  rest  lived  to 
grow  up,  Alfred  Upham  was  the  oldest  of  the  boys,  and  he  be- 
came a  physician  known  as  Dr.  Upham,  and  located  in  New  York. 
I  think  he  married  a  Miss  Henderson,  sister  of  the  late  Charles 
Henderson.  Thomas  Cogswell  Upham,  the  second  boy,  was  born 
in  Deerfield  in  1799,  so  Rochester  cannot  claim  him  among  her 
famous  sons.  Yet  he  was  only  three  years  old  when  the  family 
made  our  good  old  town  their  future  home.  He  was  the  most  dis- 
tinguished of  the  Upham  children,  and  was  sent  to  college  by  his 
father,  who  thoroughly  educated  every  child,  and  graduated  at 
Dartmouth  in  1818.  He  became  a  Congregational  minister,  and 
for  2  years,  from  1823  to  1825,  was  colleague  pastor  of  our  old 
Congregational  church,  the  oldest  in  town,  and  the  beloved 
assistant  of  good  Parson  Haven,  who  having  out-preached  his 
voice,  eyesight  and  congregation,  was  glad  to  have  his  valuable 
aid  in  dispensing  his  ministerial  duties.  Years  afterward,  when 
he  was  a  professor  in  Bowdoin  College,  Mr.  Upham  wrote  out  his 
"  Pastoral  Experiences  and  Reminiscences  in  Rochester,"  which 
were  not  published  till  after  his  death,  and  I  think  there  lias  never 
been  any  thing  more  interesting  of  Rochester  written  than  those 
papers  contain.  He  tells  us  how  and  why  he  went  to  board  at 
John  Smith's,  the  village  blacksmith,  who  kept  the  village  library 
at  his  house,  and  of  Arabella,  the  beautiful  daughter,  who  brought 
him  the  books  he  desired  to  read.  We  also  learn  of  his  visits  to 
the  farmers  living  in  the  suburbs  of  the  village,  old  Farmer  Hussey 
in  particular,  and  of  the  meetings  he  held  at  the  dingy  school- 
houses  in  several  districts;  of  his  call  on  old  Mrs.  Welch,  who 
resided  in  the  vicinity  of  Meaderboro,  I  think,  and  was  a  reputed 
witch.  Those  papers  gave  one  an  insight  into  the  manners  of  60 
years  ago,  and  a  deal  of  good  religious  suggestion  and  instruction. 

Thomas  C.  Upham  was  made  Professor  of  Mental  and  Moral 
Philosophy  in  Bowdoin  College  in  1825,  and  left  Rochester. 
Many  years  after  he  traveled  in  Europe,  Egypt  and  Palestine,  and 
he  was  the  author  of  numerous  books,  having  a  world-wide  repu- 
tation as  a  theological  writer.  His  "Mental  Philosophy"  has 
been  used  as  a  text-book  in  our  educational  schools.     In  1859

"  The  Life  of  Faith,"  by  Prof.  Upham,  was  republished  in  Eng- 
land, and  the  British  Standard  said  of  it: 

"  The  book  is  the  man  developed;  the  book  is  the  man  em- 
bodied. Every  page  bespeaks  the  high  intellect  of  Dr.  Upham. 
The  book  is  a  great  treasure  and  we  welcome  the  English  edition 
as  a  most  important  accession  to  our  experimental  theology. 

Was  not  that  high  enough  praise  ? 

Prof.  Upham  was  the  author  of  some  beautiful  poems,  and  his 
"  Song  of  the  Pilgrims  "  will  never  be  forgotten  by  one  who  has 
read  it.     I  like  best  now  that  little  poem  entitled : 

THE  LIVING-FOUNTAIN. 

I  hear  the  tinkling  camel's  bell 

Beneath  the  shade  of  Ebal's  mount 
And  men  and  beast  at  Jacob's  well 

Bow  down  to  taste  the  living  fount. 

Samaria's  daughter,  too,  doth  share 
The  draught  that  earthly  thirst  can  quell  ? 

But  who  is  this  that  meets  her  there? 
What  voice  is  this  at  Jacob's  well  7 

"  Ho  I  ask  of  me,  and  I  will  give. 
From  my  own  life  thy  lips  supply; 
I  am  the  fount;  drink,  drink  and  live ; 
No  more  to  thirst,  no  more  to  die  ! " 

Strange  mystic  words,  but  words  of  heaven. 
And  they  who  drink  to-day,  as  then, . 

To  them  shall  inward  life  be  given, 
Their  souls  shall  never  thirst  again. 

Prof.  Upham  died  at  Brunswick,  Me.,  in  1873,  aged  73  years. 

Another  son  of  Nathaniel  Upham  was  Nathaniel  G.  Upham, 
who  was  born  in  Rochester.  He  also  graduated  at  Dartmouth 
College  like  his  brother  Thomas,  but  unlike  him  he  was  distin- 
guished for  his  legal  knowledge,  since  he  was  a  lawyer  and  a  very 
smart  one.  He  opened  an  office  first  at  Bristol  and  afterward 
settled  in  Concord.  From  1833  to  1843  he  was  one  of  the  judges 
of  the  Superior  Court.  In  1853  he  was  commissioner  to  London 
"  for  adjustment  of  claims  between  citizens  of  the  United  States 
and  Great  Britain  against  the  government  of  either  country." 
After  this  he  was  general  agent  of  the  Concord  railroad,  remain- 
ing in  that  position  nearly  to  the  close  of  his  life.  He  died  in 
1869.  He  had  considerable  poetic  talent  and  wrote  beautiful 
verse. 

The  fourth  son  of  the  old  time  Rochester  merchant  was  Tim- 
othy Upham,  who  was  also  a  doctor,  and  a  young  man  of  great

promise.     He  died  soon  after  commencing  practice,  at  Saratoga, 

•  ^  •     *  • 

Joseph  B.  Upham,  the  fifth  son,  followed  a  mercantile  life  and 
was  collector  of  customs  at  Portsmouth. 

Francis  W.  Upham,  the  sixth,  is  a  resident  of  New  York,  and  is 
known  as  an  able  theological  writer. 

Albert  G.  Upham,  the  youngest  boy,  born  in  18 19,  graduated 
at  Bowdoin  College  and  completed  his  medical  studies  in  Europe, 
while  this  makes  the  third  doctor  in  the  Upham  family.  He  died 
in  Boston  of  ship  fever,  and  was  buried  at  Rochester  in  the  old 
cemetery  below  the  village. 

Squire  Upham  was  very  proud  of  his  boys  and  much  pleased 
with  their  success  in  the  world,  and  well  he  might  have  been.  It 
is  related  that  one  day  a  customer,  or  villager,  was  at  his  store, 
when  the  old  merchant,  as  if  to  enlighten  him  a  little,  with  an  air 
of  satisfaction,  said  :  "  I  have  brought  up  my  boys  to  look  after 
my  several  interests.  I  have  educated  Tim  to  look  after  my 
health,  I  have  educated  Nat  to  look  after  my  worldly  affairs,  and 
Tom  I  have  educated  to  look  after  my  spiritual  affairs." 

"  Well,  I  pity  poor  Tom,"  rejoined  the  customer. 

Squire  Upham's  daughters  were  Mary,  Judith  C,  and  Ruth. 
As  I  have  already  mentioned,  Mary  married  David  Barker,  while 
it  has  been  ably  said,  "  She  was  a  very  able  woman  and  full  of 
good  works."  Judith  C,  her  mother's  namesake,  married  James 
Bell,  of  Exeter,  once  United  States  senator  from  New  Hampshire. 
Ruth  became  the  wife  of  Dr.  John  M.  Berry,  of  Rochester,  and 
lived  after  the  decease  of  her  parents  for  a  long  time  in  the  ele- 
gant old  mansion  on  Main  street. 

Four  members  of  the  Upham  family  are  interred  in  our  old 
cemetery  in  a  plot  of  ground  inclosed  by  a  light  iron  fence.  The 
headstones  erected  to  their  memory  are  handsome  white  marble, 
and  the  inscriptions  or  epitaphs  interesting  to  read.  I  have 
copied  them  for  the  readers  of  this  sketch  of  the  notable  family:

in  command  of  the  forts  and  harbor  of  Portsmouth,  with  the 
superintendent  of  the  recruiting  service,  in  a  district  composing 
the  southern  part  of  New  Hampshire  and  the  county  of  York,  in 
the  State  of  Maine. 

"  In  September  he  joined  his  regiment  at  Plattsburgh,  N.  Y. ; 
in  November,  advanced  with  the  army  to  Champlain,  on  the 
Canada  line;  from  whence,  after  some  severe  skirmishing,  and 
much  suffering  of  the  troops  for  want  of  suitable  supplies  of 
winter  clothing,  the  army  returned  to  Plattsburgh.  The  nth  and 
some  other  regiments  passed  over  to  Burlington,  and  went  into 
winter  quarters. 

"  Major  Upham  was  soon  after  ordered  to  Portland  to  superin- 
tend the  recruiting  service  of  the  State  of  Maine  and  in  part  of 
New  Hampshire.  In  April,  1813,  having,  with  the  officers  under 
his  command,  enlisted  upwards  of  two  thousand  men,  and  sent 
them  forward  to  join  their  respective  regiments,  he  repaired  to 
Burlington  with  the  winter  clothing  of  his  regiment,  the  first  they 
had  received.  There  he  received  an  order  to  select  a  battalion  of 
five  hundred  men  from  his  regiment  and  proceed  with  all  possible 
despatch  to  Sackett's  Harbor.  This  march  was  accomplished  in 
fourteen  days,  with  a  heavy  train  of  baggage  for  the  army,  via 
Johnstown  and  the  Northern  State  road.  He  arrived  there  in 
May  and  remained  there  and  in  the  vicinity  with  his  battalion  un- 
til October,  when  the  army,  then  under  the  command  of  Gen. 
Wilkinson,  was  embarked  in  boats,  with  orders  to  descend  the  St. 
Lawrence  and  form  a  junction  with  the  troops  then  under  the 
command  of  Gen.  Hampton,  at  some  point  on  the  St.  Lawrence, 
above  Montreal,  with  a  view  to  a  joint  attack  on  that  place. 

"Maj.  Upham  had,  in  October,  1813,  previous  to  leaving  Sack- 
ett's Harbor,  been  promoted  to  lieut.-col.  of  the  21st  Infantry, 
Col.  Miller's  famous  regiment,  but  remained  with  his  battalion  of 
the  nth  to  the  close  of  the  campaign.  In  descending  the  St. 
Lawrence  he  had  the  command  of  one  division  of  the  boats,  and 
passed  the  enemy's  batteries  at  Fort  Pr  :;'5C0tt  under  a  heavy  can- 
nonade with  very  trifling  loss,  and  proceeded  immediately  down 
the  river  to  the  head  of  the  Longue  Saut,  a  rapid  in  the  St.  Law- 
rence of  several  miles  in  extent.  At  this  point  the  troops,  with 
the  exception  of  those  required  to  manage  the  boats,  proceeded 
by  land,  leaving  Col.  Upham  in  his  division  of  boats  with  about 
300  men,  selected  from  the  several  regiments  which  composed  the 
division. 

"  On  arriving  at  Cornwall,  below  the  rapids,  it  was  ascertained 
that  the  enemy  were  following  with  considerable  force,  and  a

flotilla  of  gunboats.  In  consequence  of  this  information,  Col. 
Uphant  now  received  orders  to  place  his  boats  in  safety,  land  his 
men  and  hold  them  in  readiness  for  such  service  as  might  be  re- 
quired. The  main  body  of  the  army,  under  Gen.  Brown,  having 
proceeded  down  the  river,  the  enemy  commenced  an  attack  on  its 
rear  guard,  under  Gen.  Covington,  who,  being  pressed  hard,  Col. 
Upham  was  ordered  to  reinforce  him.  While  advancing  to  exe- 
cute this  order,  he  met  the  general  mortally  wounded,  who 
directed  him  to  press  forward  and  report  to  Gen.  Boyd. 

"  On  his  arrival  near  the  field  of  battle,  known  as  Chrystler's 
Field  he  met  the  troops  retreating  for  want  of  ammunition 
through  the  woods  which  skirted  the  field.  Col.  Upham  was  di- 
rected by  Gen.  Boyd  to  push  forward  and  hold  the  enemy  in 
check  until  ammunition  could  be  procured  from  the  boats.  His 
division  immediately  engaged  the  enemy  and  held  them  in  chock 
for  nearly  an  hour,  when  he  received  an  order  to  retreat  and  em- 
bark his  men  on  board  the  boats,  which  he  succeeded  in  doing, 
having  effectually  checked  the  enemy. 

"  His  loss  in  this  action,  in  killed  and  wounded,  was  large  in 
proportion  to  the  number  engaged,  being  nearly  one-fifth  of  the 
whole.  The  boats  then  passed  down  the  river  to  take  in  a  large 
detachment  which  had  proceeded  by  land  and  which  had  not  been 
engaged. 

On  arriving  at  the  mouth  of  French  Creek,  information  was 
received  from  Gen.  Hampton  that  he  was  on  his  return  to  Pitts- 
burgh, having  been  somewhat  severely  handled  by  the  enemy  in 
the  neighborhood  of  Chateaugay  and  fallen  short  of  provisions. 
The  object  of  the  expedition  was  therefore  defeated,  and  the  army 
retired  up  French  Creek  to  a  convenient  place  and  commenced 
building  huts  for  winter  quarters. 

"  Col.  Upham  was  now  ordered  to  repair  to  the  seaboard  on  re- 
cruiting service,  on  which  duty  he  was  employed  till  the  July  fol- 
lowing, when  he  was  ordered  to  join  the  aist  Infantry  at  Buffalo. 
On  his  arrival  there,  he  found  his  regiment  at  Fort  Erie,  and  he 
immediately  crossed  over  and  assumed  command  of  it.  Fort 
Erie  was  at  this  time  closely  invested  by  a  force  double  in  number 
to  the  garrison.  After  suffering  a  severe  loss  by  the  cannonade 
and  bombardment,  which  continued  without  interruption  for 
nearly  forty  days,  our  troops  having  been  reinforced  by  a  brigade 
of  New  York  militia,  it  was  determmed  to  try  the  strength  of  the 
enemy  by  a  sudden  attack  on  their  works.  Accordingly  about  the 
middle  of  September  a  sortie  was  made  at  noon,  the  enemy's 
works  all  earned,  and  his  guns  spiked  before  his  reserve,  which

wai  encamped  at  some  distance,  could  be  brousht  up.  Our 
troops  then  retired  to  the  fort.  In  this  action  tne  loss  of  the 
enemy  in  killed,  wounded  and  prisoners  was  over  six  hundred 
men;  and  our  own  was  not  much  less,  and  included  a  large  num- 
ber of  the  higher  grade  of  officers  —  being  the  most  bloody  ac- 
tion which  was  fought  during  the  war,  in  proportion  to  the  num- 
bers engaged.  The  next  day  the  enemy  abandoned  his  works  and 
retreated  toward  Kingston.  The  regimentwas  much  reduced,  and 
Lieut.-Col.  Upham's  health  having  become  greatly  impaired,  he 
was  again  ordered  to  the  seaboard,  and  instructed  to  report  to 
Gen.  Dearborn,  at  Boston. 

"  The  command  of  the  station  at  Portsmouth  was  assigned  to 
him,  but  his  health  was  so  severely  aflected  he  was  unable,  during 
the  winter  and  for  several  months  after,  to  leave  his  quarters.  On 
the  cessation  of  hostilities  he  resigned  his  commission  in  the  army, 
and  in  the  spring  of  x8i6  was  appointed  by  President  Madison 
collector  of  customs  at  Portsmouth,  which  office  he  continued  to 
hold,  under  the  appointment  of  Presidents  Monroe  and  Adams, 
until  1839.  In  1819  he  was  appointed  brigadier-general  of  the 
First  Brigade  New  Hampshire  Militia,  and,  in  1820,  major-general 
of  the  First  Division.  In  1841  he  was  appointed  navy  agent  at 
Portsmouth  by  President  Harrison,  which  office  he  resigned  in  the 
spring  of  1845.  He  then  removed  to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  where 
he  died  November  3,  185^."

May  16,  1770;  d.  Jan.  28,  1828.  He  was  graduated  at  Harvard 
College,  1785.  The  following  sketch  of  his  life  is  from  Davis' 
History  of  Sturbridge,  and  Southboro,  Mass. 

"  Jabez  Upham  was  the  first  lawyer  who  practiced  in  Sturbridge; 
soon  removed  to  Claremont,  N.  H.,  where  he  remained  only  a 
short  time,  thence  went  to  Brookfield,  Mass.,  where  he  engaged 
in  his  profession  until  the  close  of  his  life.  Industry  and  perse- 
verance enabled  him  to  rise  in  his  profession.  Fraud  and  decep- 
tion received  from  him  such  a  rebuke  as  would  not  soon  be  for- 
gotten. His  office  was  a  great  place  for  law  students.  He  came 
to  the  bar  when  such  men  as  Gov.  Lincoln,  the  elder.  Gov.  Strong 
and  Gov.  Sullivan  were  constant  attendants  of  the  Supreme  Court 
in  Worcester  Co.,  and  who  stood  in  the  front  rank  of  the  profes- 
sion. The  brilliant  and  elegant  Francis  Blake  came  to  the  bar 
about  the  same  time,  >"  soon  after.  Mr.  Upham  sustained,  if  not 
an  equal,  a  very  respectable  standing  among  such  men  as  a  lawyer 
and  advocate.  He  frequently  represented  his  town  and  county 
in  the  Legislature ;  alro  his  district  during  four  or  six  years  in 
Congress.

"  As  a  member  of  Congress  Mr.  Upham  exerted  a  salutary  in- 
fluence and  was  highly  respected.  He  possessed  a  great  share  of 
that  kind  of  useful  sense  known  as  '  common  sense.'  Not  favored 
with  extraordinary  endowments,  unremitting  application  made 
him  in  a  measure  what  he  was.  In  person  he  was  tall ;  he  was 
dignified  and  gentlemanly  in  appearance  and  manners.  Strict  in- 
tegrity and  a  right  sense  of  honorable  dealing  characterized  his 
life.  He  had,  many  years  previous  to  his  death,  made  a  public 
profession  of  religion,  and  it  was  uniformly  exemplified  in  his  daily 
deportment.  He  died  in  the  midst  of  his  usefulness  at  the  age  of 
forty-seven." 

His  epitaph  at  West  Brookfield  reads : 

"  Erected  in  memory  of  the  Hon.  Jabez  Upham  who  died  Nov. 
8,  181 1,  aged  47  years.     While  this  tomb  admonishes  us  that  we 
must  also  die,  let  the  example  of  its  possessor  teach  us  how  to 
live.     Inheriting  a  sound  and  discriminating  mind  and  early  ac- 
quiring a  habit  of  patient  and  indefatigable    industry,  what  to 
most  men  would  have  been  obstacles,  were  to  him  but  incentives 
to  execution.     By  perseverance  he  rose  to  eminence  in  his  pro- 
fession as  an  advocate,  and  in  character  as  a  Legislator.     In  this 
last  oflice  his  talents  and  his  patriotism  were  conspicuous,  not  only 
in  the  councils  of  his  native  State,  but  in  the  discharge  of  his 
higher  duties  of  a  Representative  in  Congress.     But  the  qualities 
which  most  endeared  him  to  the  public  were  not  the  most   esti- 
mable of  his  character.     In  his  domestic  relations  he  was  amiable 
and  endearing,  as  a  friend  constant  and  affectionate,  as  a  citizen 
independent  and  faithful.     As  a  man  he  discharged  his  relative 
duties  as  accountable  to  Heaven.     As  a  Christian  he  died  as  he 
had  lived,  firm  in  his  faith  and  relying,  through  the  merits  of  his 
Redeemer  upon  the  mercy  of  his  God  for  a  glorious  resurrection."

He  was  a  Boston  merchant  of  the  old  school.  His  principal 
business  career  was  in  the  firm  of  Gussitt  &:  Upham,  which  gained 
the  reputation  of  being  highly  honorable  and  successful  merchants. 
He  retired  from  this  business  connection  while  still  in  the  prime 
of  life,  and  became  president  of  the  old  Boston  Bank;  by  his 
energy,  integrity  and  sound  business  knowledge,  the  bank  was 
brought  from  a  rather  doubtful  position  to  the  high  financial 
standing  which  it  has  since  maintained.  Of  his  character,  his  son 
said  of  him:  "He  had  no  aspirations  for  official  position,  but  had 
many  responsibilities  placed  upon  him,  owing  to  a  well-deserved 
reputation  for  honesty  of  purpose  coupled  with  sound  judgment.

'Si  '^75'  'lie  following  is  an  extract  from  hi  Memoir,  by  Dr. 
George  E.  Ellis,  which  wus  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  December,  1876,  and  afterward 
reprinted. 

"  Charles  Wentworth  Upham,  though  he  was  not  born  within 
the  limits  of  the  United  States,  h.ul  other  claim  to  its  full  and 
honored  citizenship.  Here  he  passed  all  but  the  early  boyhood 
of  his  life;  and  here,  in  several  forms  of  high  service,  he  dis- 
charged a  larger  variety  of  trusts  than  is  usually  often  assigned  to 
the  most  favored  of  those  horn  on  our  soil.  He  came  of  a  family 
of  the  original  English  Colonists  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  A  line 
of  five  generations  between  his  first  ancestor  here  and  himself 
gives  the  names  of  t'^CoC  "■''o  were  trusted  and  serviceable  in  all 
the  ordinary  and  emergent  ofhct:,  calling  for  able  and  faithful 
men,  in  the  development  of  communiii'"  and  States. 

"  He  was  born  in  St.  John,  New  Brunswick,  May  4,  1802.  This 
was  at  that  time  a  wild,  unsettled  region  of  fore^,  on  the  edge 
of  the  farthest  boundary  of  the  Province,  —  a  region  now  partly 
the  parish  of  Upham  and  partly  Sussex  Vale,  bordering  on  the  St. 
John's  river,  on  the  Bay  of  Fundy.  After  the  death  o.'  his  father, 
and  when  he  was  but  eight  years  old,  he  was  sent  to  a  school  then 
recently  established  in  St.  John,  where  instruction  in  Lntin  was 
offered.  Later  he  was  placed  in  an  apotheca-s  '■  shop,  t!ie  pro- 
prietor of  which  was  a  physician  and  surgeon  ol  large  praci'ce  in 
St.  John.  But  the  death  of  his  employer  auested  the  current  of 
his  life  in  the  direction  of  a  professional  education,  after  he  l.ad 
read  through  the  whole  Edinburgh  Materia  Medica.  He  w.  s 
sent  to  a  farm  fifteen  miles  above  Annapolis,  in  the  valley  of  the 
river  of  the  same  name,  where  he  performed  such  rough  and  use- 
ful service  as  his  years  allowed.  In  1813,  just  after  the  close  of 
the  war,  Mr.  Phineas  Upham,  a  merchant  of  Boston,  happening, 
on  a  visit  to  St.  John,  to  see  his  young  kinsman,  proposed  to  be- 
friend him  by  training  him  for  business  in  his  store.  From  the 
inducements  offered  by  this  opportunity,  the  subsequent  career  of 
the  youth  was  decided,  and  in  1816,  he  returned  to  the  home  of 
his  ancestry,  arriving  in  Boston  in  June  of  that  year.  His  kins- 
man received  him  into  his  family  and  counting;  'lOUse,  intending 
to  train  him  for  business.  But  his  evident  talents  and  tastes  for  a 
higher  mental  culture  were  indulged;  and,  with  a  view  to  his 
preparation  for  college,  he  was  sent  to  a  school  in  Boston.  He 
entered  Harvard  College  in  1817,  and,  pursuing  the  usual  course, 


V

graduated  in  1821.  His  class  contained  many  members  who,  like 
himself,  attained  distinction  in  mature  life,  and  fiHed  many  places 
of  trust  and  influence ;  among  whom  were  Josiah  Quincy,  and 
Ralph  Waldo  Emerson. 

"The  most  attractive  course  which  the  college  at  Cambridge 
offered  .it  t  <  it  lime,  for  young  men  zealous  for  nigh  culture,  true 
scb'-li  snip  ind  for  effective  work  in  elevating  the  community, 
waf  h.!.  f  I  .'  study  of  theology  with  a  view  to  entering  the  min- 
istry ;  and  tiiis  he  chose.  As  soon  as  he  had  completed  his  course 
"■f  |M'  paratory  study  and  had  made  a  trial  of  his  gifts  as  a  candi- 
ilatt,  I.e  was  invited  to  the  associate  pastorship  of  the  First  Church 
in  Salem.  There,  on  the  8th  of  December,  1824,  he  was  ordained 
as  the  colleague  of  the  widely-known  and  eminent  Dr.  John 
Prinre.  This  venerated  and  distinguished  man,  who  would  have 
been  regarded  as  among  the  most  honored  of  his  time  as  a  divine, 
had  not  his  fame  as  a  philosopher  and  a  lover  of  pure  science 
made  him  more  generally  known,  can  be  named  as  next  to 
Franklin  in  the  list  of  our  early  lovers  and  servants  of  natural  sci- 
ence. Only  his  rare  modesty  and  unselfish  regards  have  left  him. 
comparatively  forgotten  by  the  present  generation,  as  he  himself 
failed  to  assert  among  his  contemporaries  any  public  recognition 
of  his  claims. 

"  Mr.  Upham  always  regarded  it  as  one  of  his  richest  privileges 
that  he  had  been  brought  into  such  confidential  relations  with  so 
wise  and  good  a  man.  Dr.  Prince  lived  twelve  years  after  Mr. 
Upham  was  ordained  as  his  colleague;  and  died  in  1836,  after  a 
pastorate  of  nearly  fifty-eight  years. 

"  Mr.  Upham  was  married  on  the  29th  of  March,  1826,  to  Ann 
Susan  Holmes,  the  sister  of  Dr.  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes.  Salem, 
from  this  period  to  the  close  of  his  life,  continued  to  be  the  resi- 
dence of  Mr.  Upham,  even  under  a  great  variety  of  professional 
and  official  labors  which  called  him  away  from  it.  Among  all  the 
honored  and  eminent  citizens  who  have  been  born  and  have  lived 
in  it,  there  has  not  been  one  who  was  so  thoroughly  informed  in 
its  history,  who  had  made  a  closer  study  of  its  interesting  sites  and 
localities  or  who  mor.  fondly  loved  and  more  justly  appreciated 
the  memories  and  services  of  the  men  and  women  of  former  gen- 
erfions  who  were  identified  with  it.  He  had  a  taste  and  genius 
for  the  lore  and  the  investigations  for  which  Salem  offered  such 
rich  material.  The  simple  truth,  the  uncolored  facts  of  history 
were  good  enough  for  him  in  their  burdens  of  romance,  heroism, 
earnestness  and  weight  of  importance.  The  place  itself  was  to 
him  invested  with  the  lessons  and  the  charms  associated  with  the

lives  of  seven  generations  of  a  peculiar  class  of  men  and  women 
who  had  subdued  a  wilderness,  met  all  the  rough  and  hazardous 
conditions  of  an  exposed  position,  founded  a  State,  secured 
through  home  discipline,  school  and  church,  all  the  safeguards  of 
the  law,  virtue  and  piety,  and  then  made  it  a  centre  for  the  world's 
commerce,  and  a  nursery  for  producing  soldiers,  patriots,  divines, 
scholars,  philosophers,  merchant  princes,  jurists  and  statesmen. 

"  So  much  and  even  more  must  be  said  in  the  record  of  Mr. 
Upham 's  life,  of  the  place  where  he  lived  for  more  than  half  a 
century,  because  by  far  the  larger  part  of  his  labors  and  studies, 
as  well  as  his  professional  services,  had  the  most  intimate  connec- 
tion with  the  history  and  welfare  of  Salem.  The  meeting-house 
in  which  he  first  ministered,  and  which  during  his  pastorate  was 
replaced  by  another,  occupied  the  same  site  on  which  had  stood 
four  previous  structures  reared  successively  for  the  increasing 
flock  of  worshippers,  beginning  with  the  first  exiled  band. 

"  In  the  list  of  Mr.  Upham's  published  writings —  not  to  mention 
those  left  in  manuscript  —  it  will  be  observed  how  largely  the  sub- 
jects of  them  are  concerned  with  the  annals  of  Salem  and  the 
biographies  of  those  who  lived  in  it.  He  could  reproduce,  in 
their  order  and  situations,  the  old  homesteads  and  bounds  of  farms 
of  successive  owners,  and  trace  the  steps  by  which  the  rocky  head- 
lands, with  their  borderings  of  forest,  stream  and  hill-tops,  had 
been  tamed  into  garden  homes  and  scenes  of  busy  thrift.  The 
extensive,  world-wide  commercial  enterprise  of  Salem  in  its  most 
prosperous  days,  by  its  ship-owners  and  opulent  merchants,  put 
many  of  the  citizens  into  correspondence  with  foreigners,  gave 
them  opportunities  for  travel,  and  brought  to  the  town  fresh  sup- 
plies for  valuable  libraries  and  all  the  appliances  of  luxury.  The 
East  India  Marine  Museum,  with  its  rich  and  curious  gatherings 
of  wonders  of  all  kinds  from  the  other  hemisphere,  and  from  all 
thf  islands  and  oceans,  is  a  most  significant  illustration  of  the 
wide  rovings  of  those  who  presented  their  trophies  to  form  this 
collection.  To  investigate,  verify,  and  present  in  an  instructive 
form,  the  local  history  and  the  persona!  characters  and  achieve- 
me.ils  of  the  town  and  its  inhabitants,  was  for  the  remainder  of 
Mr.  Upham's  life  his  most  loved  work.  There  is  a  remarkable 
exercise  of  discrimination,  of  a  sound  judgment,  and  of  a  catholic 
spirit,  in  Mr.  Upham's  method  and  tone  of  writing  about  the  orig- 
inal exiles  in  Salem  and  their  immediate  descendants.  He  had  a 
rare  skill  in  interpreting  their  characters  by  the  circumstances 
which  had  formed  them,  by  the  times  in  which  they  had  lived,  and 
the  exigencies  of  their  enterprise.    What  there  was  to  be  regretted

or  blamed  in  their  rigid  ways  and  severe  courses  he  fairly  recog- 
nized ;  but  claimed  for  it  palliation,  and  even  respect,  when  truly 
dealt  with. 

"  While  he  was  eminently  faithful,  during  the  score  of  years 
through  which  his  professional  relations  extended,  to  all  his  duties 
in  the  pulpit,  as  a  pastor,  according  to  the  exacting  standard  of 
the  period,  he  was  a  most  diligent  student  in  his  library.  The 
ministers  of  the  old  New  England  churches,  till  within  a  recent 
period,  have  generally  been  the  best  educated  and  best  informed 
persons  resident  in  the  respective  towns.  With  very  rare  excep- 
tions, all  the  local  and  general  histories  of  the  original  settlements, 
and  the  biographies  of  the  men  and  women  of  distinction  or  of 
great  worth,  have  come  from  their  pens.  Salem,  at  one  period,  was 
more  rich  in  its  collections  of  books  and  means  of  culture  than 
was  Boston.  Drs.  Prince  and  Bentley  put  all  their  sea-faring 
parishioners  into  service  to  bring  them  literary  pabulum  from  all 
the  continents  and  islands.  Mr.  Upham  continued  to  pursue  the 
line  of  professional  studies  on  which  he  had  entered  at  Cambridge, 
especially  in  the  department  of  Scriptural  exegesis  and  interpreta- 
tion. He  published, in  1828,  a  small  volume  entitled  'Letters  on 
the  Logos; '  in  which  he  aimed  to  show  that  the  real  significance 
of  the  term  translated  '  The  Word  '  in  the  opening  of  the  gospel 
of  St.  John,  and  in  other  places  in  the  New  Testament,  was  not  to 
be  found,  as  some  of  his  own  school  of  theologians  had  maintained, 
in  the  Platonizing  writings  of  the  Alexandrians  of  a  later  period, 
but  in  the  conceptions,  the  literature,  and  the  forms  of  speech  of 
the  Jews  in  the  time  of  the  evangelist.  In  1835,  he  published,  as 
the  fruit  of  much  study  and  learning,  an  extended  treatise  as  '  A 
Discourse  on  Prophecy  as  an  Evidence  of  Christianity.'  The 
argument  of  this  treatise  does  not  rest  so  much  on  the  fulfilment 
of  specific  predictions  of  local  events,  as  on  the  provisions  within 
the  Jewish  religion  and  system  for  expansion  and  extension. 

"  He  was  a  frequent  contributor  during  his  uiinistry,  and  through 
the  remainder  of  his  life,  to  the  various  periodical  works  in  litera- 
ture, history,  and  theology;  and  also  to  the  .lewspapers,  on  matters 
of  local  or  public  interest.  His  discourses  at  the  dedication  of 
the  new  house  of  worship  of  the  First  Church,  in  1826,  reprinted 
the  next  year,  and  on  the  '  Principles  of  Congregationalism,'  on 
the  completion  of  its  second  century,  in  1829,  engaged  alike  his 
spirit  of  thorough  research  and  his  love  for  the  characters  and  ser- 
vices of  his  revered  predecessors  and  their  associates.  In  a  post- 
script to  the  latter  publication,  he  makes  a  study  and  estimate  of 
the  character  of  Hugh  Peters.     In  the  same  year,  he  published  a

discourse,  which  he  delivered  on  the  Sunday  after  the  decease  of 
the  Hon.  Thomas  Pickering,  with  a  notice  of  his  life.  A  Memoir 
of  his  colleague,  Dr.  Prince,  had  already  been  published  by  him  at 
the  death  of  the  latter.  Discourses  preached  by  him  before  the 
Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company  in  Boston,  in  1832;  on 
the  anniversary  of  the  First  Parish  in  Hingham,  in  1832;  a  sermon 
on  '  The  Glory  of  God,'  and  a  '  Discussion  of  the  Scripture  Doc- 
trine of  Regeneration  '  —  also  appeared  in  print.  His  '  Lectures 
on  Witchcraft,  comprising  a  History  of  the  Delusion  in  Salem,' 
appeared  in  two  editions  in  1831  and  1832.  In  1835,  he  wrote 
for  Mr.  Sparks'  American  Biography  a  '  Life  of  Sir  Henry  Vane,' 
once  Governor  of  Massachusetts.  The  State  Board  of  Education 
authorized  the  republication  of  this  Life  in  its  school  library.  It 
was  also  so  highly  estimated  in  England  as  to  lead  to  its  being 
substantially  reproduced  in  an  English  family  cyclopedia,  without 
a  recognition  of  its  real  authorship,  the  name  of  an  Englishman 
beii.g  substituted.  Mr.  Upham  delivered  the  municipal  oration 
at  Salem,  on  the  4th  of  July,  1842,  and  the  oration  before  the  New 
England  Pilgrim  Society  in  New  York,  Dec.  22,  1846;  both  of 
which  were  published,  the  latter  in  two  editions.  He  published 
brief  biographies  of  Col.  Thomas  Pickering,  of  Edward  Everett, 
and  of  John  Quincy  Adams  in  the  'National  Portrait  Gallery,' 
Vols.  I  and  IV,  1834  and  1839;  an  article  on  the  British  Naviga- 
tion Act,  in  'Hunt's  Merchants'  Magazine,'  in  1841;  a  discourse 
on  the  National  Fast,  on  the  death  of  President  Harrison,  in  1841; 
and  an  article  on  the  '  English  Reformation,'  in  the  '  Christian 
Examiner'  for  1844.  At  the  earnest  solicitation  of  gentlemen 
acting  in  the  behalf  of  the  Massachusetts  Board  of  Education,  he 
prepared  a  '  Life  of  Washington '  for  school  libraries.  The  plan 
and  method  of  the  work  were  to  make  Washington  substantially 
his  own  biographer,  in  extracts  from  his  own  writings,  in  con- 
formity with  an  intimation  by  himself  that  his  biography  might  be  . 
so  constructed.  But  the  publishers  of  the  copyrighted  edition  of 
'  The  Writings  of  Washington,'  by  Jared  Sparks,  from  which  the 
materials  would  have  been  largely  taken,  obtained  an  injunction 
from  the  court  against  the  issue  of  Mr.  Upham's  two  volumes. 
These  were  accordingly  suppressed,  and  as  Mr.  Upham  for  r. 
period  of  more  than  ten  years  fully  believed,  the  suppression  was 
effectual.  He  had  seen  the  work  which  he  prepared  only  frag- 
mentarily  in  print,  as  the  proof  sheets  had  been  sent  to  him  for  re- 
vision. But  in  all  probability  the  stereotype  plates  for  it,  prepared 
here,  were  surreptitiously  carried  over  to  England  ;  for  the  work, 
without  a  single  alteration,  omission,  or  addition,    appeared  in

England,  purporting  to  have  been  printed  in  London,  at  the  office 
of  the  '  National  Illustrated  Library.' 

"Mr,  Upham  enjoyed  his  professional  position  and  duties,  com- 
bined as  they  were  with  a  range  of  studies,  and  of  local  and  social 
relations,  helpful  to  his  special  vocations.  He  formed  the  closest 
friendships  with  his  fellow-citizens,  and  was  fondly  faithful  to 
their  claims  on  him  as  a  pastor.  But  he  was  afflicted  with  a 
severe  and  obstinate  bronchial  affection,  against  which  he  strug- 
gled, hoping  that  he  might  recover  his  power  of  speaking  in  pub- 
lic. Being  disappointed  in  his  hopes,  he  resigned  his  office,  Dec. 
8,  1844,  thus  completing  a  ministry  of  a  score  of  years.  He  then 
became  an  occupant,  for  the  remainder  of  his  life,  of  a  pew  in  the 
church  whose  pulpit  he  had  served  with  eminent  ability.  It  was 
not  till  after  an  interval  of  two  or  three  years  that  he  could  ven- 
ture again,  to  use  his  voice  in  public.  But  the  tedium  of  partial 
invalidism  was  relieved  by  occupations  and  a  diligent  use  of  his 
books  in  his  library.  From  March,  1845,  to  March,  1846,  he  was 
the  editor  of  the  Christian  Register,  a  weekly  paper  published  in 
Boston.  Though  this  paper  was  established  and  supported  in  the 
interest  of  Unitarianism,  a  cursory  review  of  the  leading  editorials 
from  his  pen,  as  well  as  of  his  general  management  of  it,  shows 
that  his  aim  in  conducting  it  was  by  no  means  limited  by  any 
sectarian  views  or  objects.  The  respect  entertained  for  him  in 
Salem,  and  his  own  varied  capacities  for  some  forms  of  public 
service  in  behalf  of  the  common  interests  of  the  community,  en- 
gaged him  again  in  such  service  as  soon  as  he  had  but  partially 
recovered  his  vocal  power.  From  August,  185 1,  to  August,  1852, 
he  was  in  the  employ  of  the  Board  of  Education  in  Massachusetts; 
his  duty  being  to  visit  the  schools  of  the  State,  and  to  address  the 
people  in  public  assemblies  in  their  behalf,  in  furtherance  of  the 
interests  of  education.  This  he  did  in  more  than  a  hundred 
towns.  Being  elected  mayor  of  the  city  of  Salem  in  1852,  he 
reorganized  its  police  system,  introducing  that  which  has  ever 
since  been  in  effective  operation  there.  He  also  secured  from  the 
Legislature  the  appropriations  and  provisions  for  the  establishment 
of  a  State  Normal  School  in  that  city,  which  continues  to  accom- 
plish its  high  purpose. 

"  Mr.  Upham  represented  Salem  in  the  Massachusetts  Legislature 
in  the  years  1849,  1859,  and  i860.  He  was  a  member  of  the  State 
Senate  in  1850,  1857,  and  1858,  being  in  each  of  the  last  two 
years  chosen  the  presiding  officer,  by  a  unanimous  vote.  He  was 
a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Constitutional  Convention  in  1853. 
In  each  and  all  of  these  places,  Mr.  Upham  was  chiefly  engaged

in  efforts  to  advance  the  interests  of  education  in  the  district  and 
high  schools,  and  in  the  endowment  of  the  colleges.  He  also 
advised  measures  for  the  amendment  and  simplification  of 
the  terms  of  language  in  the  statute  law  of  the  Common- 
wealth. 

"  His  principal  publications  during  this  period  were  the  follow- 
ing: Speech  in  the  Massachusetts  House  of  Representatives  on 
the  Compromises  of  the  Constitution,  with  the  Ordinance  of  1787, 
Feb.  20,  1849;  Report  of  Committee  on  Reprinting  the  Tenth 
Report  of  the  late  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Education,  1849; 
Report  of  Committee  of  Education  on  the  Custody  and  Preserva- 
tion of  Public  Documents,  1849;  Report  of  Committee  on  the 
Reimbursement  of  the  Secretary,  Horace  Mann,  1849;  Report  of 
Committee  on  the  Age  of  Children  to  be  admitted  to  the  Common 
Schools,  1849;  Essex  County  Whig  address,  1849;  Report  in  the 
Massachusetts  Senate  of  a  Committee  on  the  National  Monument 
at  Washington,  1850;  Remarks  in  the  Senate  on  the  Plurality  Bill, 
1850;  Report  of  Committee  on  Education  on  aid  to  New  Salem 
Academy,  Senate,  1850;  Eulogy  of  Zachary  Taylor,  delivered  in 
Salem,  July  18,  1850,  at  the  request  of  the  city  authorities;  Report 
in  the  Senate  of  Committee  on  Education  on  the  Visitation  of 
Normal  Schools,  1851;  Address,  as  Mayor  of  Salem,  on  Organiza- 
tion of  the  City  Government,  1852. 

"  The  qualities  and  abilities  which  Mr.  Upham  had  exhibited  in 
his  city  magistracy,  and  in  both  branches  of  the  State  Legislature, 
naturally  prompted  a  desire  on  the  part  of  his  fellow-citizens  and 
neighbors  to  avail  themselves  of  his  services  in  the  National  Con- 
gress. He  was  chosen  to  represent  the  Sixth  District  of  the  State 
in  the  Thirty-third  Congress  of  the  United  States,  1853-1855. 
His  term  was  at  an  anxious  and  stormy  interval  in  our  public  affairs, 
perhaps,  however,  not  peculiarly  so,  as  our  whole  national  de- 
velopment has  repeated  such  exciting  periods  with  but  rare  inter- 
niissions.  He  had  not  been  one  of  the  original  Abolition  party, 
but  was  a  steadfast  Whig,  and  both  led  and  followed  the  main 
constituency  of  that  party  in  its  transition  into  the  Free  Soil  and 
Republican  organizations.  His  first  effort  in  Congress  was  in  the 
interest  of  securing  a  permanent  and  dignified  administration  and 
form  of  high  service  for  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  for  the  for- 
mation, security,  and  wise  direction  of  which  the  nation  is  in- 
debted chiefly  to  the  persistent  fidelity  of  John  Quincy  Adams. 
Mr.  Upham  was  chairman  of  a  select  committee  on  the  condition 
and  management  of  the  institution,  and  to  suggest  the  direction 
and  improvement  of  its  means  of  public  utility.

"  In  his  report  he  laid  chief  stress  upon  the  feasibility  and  ad- 
vantages of  making  it  the  basis  of  a  national  library,  on  a  scale  so 
extended,  and  with  such  selected  materials  as  would  make  it 
worthy  of  a  nation  of  foremost  rank  and  growing  to  a  nobler  de- 
velopment, and  adapted  as  a  means  for  the  diffusion  through  this 
nation  of  comprehensive  knowledge  as  one  of  the  conditions  of  its 
strength  and  glory. 

"  The  special  struggle  in  Congress  during  his  term  was  that  con- 
nected with  the  Kansas  and  Nebraska  Bill.  He  made  a  vigorous 
speech  on  this  exciting  theme  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  on 
the  loth  of  May,  1854.  He  directed  a  portion  of  it  in  debate  to 
a  reply  to  a  member  from  South  Carolina,  who  had  said  that  the 
only  practicable  or  desirable  way  for  bringing  to  an  issue  the  ques- 
tion which  was  distracting  the  nation  was  an  armed  conflict.  To 
this  heated  utterance  Mr.  Upham  responded:  'The  honorable 
member  has  intimated  that  perhaps  it  will  be  well  to  abandon  the 
policy  of  compromises,  and  for  the  two  great  conflicting  interests 
to  meet  face  to  face,  and  end  the  matter  at  once.  I  have  sug- 
gested the  reasons  why,  heretofore,  I  have  contemplated  such  an 
issue  with  reluctance.  But  if  the  South  say  so,  so  let  it  be.' 
The  challenge  and  its  acceptance  were  sad  forebodings  of  the 
issue.  In  the  same  speech  Mr.  Upham  predicted  as  a  sure  con- 
sequence of  abrogating  the  Missouri  Compromise,  the  firm  combi- 
nation of  the  Free  States  in  resistance  to  the  further  extension  of 
Slavery,  if  not  to  its  continued  existence.  '  Heretofore,' said  he, 
'  the  South  has  profited  by  our  divisions.  Those  divisions  have 
arisen  to  a  great  degree  from  the  restraining  and  embarrassing  in- 
fluence of  a  sense  of  obligation,  on  our  part,  to  adhere  to  the  en- 
gagements and  stand  up  to  the  bargains  made  by  the  fathers,  and 
renewed,  as  I  have  shown,  by  each  succeeding  generation.  But 
let  those  engagements  be  violated,  let  those  bargains  be  broken  by 
the  South,  on  the  ground  of  unconstitutionality,  or  any  other  pre- 
tense —  from  that  hour  the  North  becomes  a  unit  and  indivisible. 
From  that  hour  '  Northern  men  with  Southern  principles '  will 
disappear  from  the  scene,  and  the  race  of  Dough  Faces  be  extinct 
forever.* 

"In  another  speech  delivered  in  the  House,  Feb.  27,  1855,  the 
topics  discussed  were  '  Mediation  in  the  Eastern  War,'  '  The 
Institutions  of  Massachusetts,'  'The  Ordinance  of  1787.'  In 
vindicating  Massachusetts  from  some  attackswhich  had  been  made 
on  her  in  debate,  he  said: 

On  the  map  of  the  American   Union,   the   State  occupies 
scarcely  a  discernible  space.     In  territory  it  is  one  of  the  smallest

of  our  States  There  are  but  three  smaller —  Connecticut,  Dela- 
ware, and  Rhode  Island.  But  sir,  there  are  only  three  States  that 
exceed  it  in  free  population,  and  but  five  that  exceed  it  in  their 
aggregate  population,  counting  the  whole  number  of  slaves;  and 
each  of  these  five  States  is  from  live  to  nine  times  as  large,  and 
incomparably  more  fertile.  The  soil  of  Massachusetts  is  hard  and 
cold,  and  yields  only  to  patient  and  incessant  labor.  Her  surface 
is,  for  the  most  part,  rough,  barren  and  sandy.  Her  only  natu- 
ral exports,  and  they  have  but  recently  been  converted  into  sources 
of  wealth,  are  granite  from  her  hills  and  promontories;  marble 
from  the  Berkshire  mountains,  rising  before  our  eyes  in  polished 
forms  of  architectural  beauty  in  the  wings  of  this  Capitol;  and 
the  ice  of  her  lakes,  transported  as  a  luxury  to  tropical  regions  all 
around  the  globe.  But  intelligent  industry  and  agricultural 
science,  taste,  and  enterprise  are  gradually  spreading  a  garden 
over  her  surface.  The  traveler  is  amazed  at  the  wealth,  beauty, 
and  animation  of  more  than  three  hundred  cities  and  towns  in- 
cluded within  her  narrow  boundaries.  The  stir  of  busy  life  per- 
vades the  scene  like  the  sunshine;  nature  catches  the  spirit  of  her 
happy  industry,  and  the  brooks  that  leap  and  sparkle  down  the 
hills  and  through  the  valleys,  at  every  step  turn  the  wheels  of 
factories,  around  which  thriving  villages  gather.  Scarcely  a  spot 
so  secluded  as  not  to  be  adorned  with  church  spires  and  vocal 
with  the  merry  voices  of  children  wending  their  way  to  district 
schools.  I  look  upon  Massachusetts,  Mr.  Speaker,  as  one  of  the 
most  remarkable  instances  of  social  and  political  development 
exhibited  in  the  whole  range  of  history;  and,  as  such,  well  worthy 
of  being  held  up  to  the  contemplation  of  legislators  and  statesmen 
here  and  elsewhere.' 

"On  an  incidental  matter  relating  to  his  personal  position  as  a 
son  of  a  proscribed  Loyalist,  Mr.  Upham  gave  an  earnest  expres- 
sion of  his  feelings  in  the  same  speech;  exhibiting  a  generous 
magnanimity,  of  which  it  would  have  been  grateful  if  our  country 
had  oflfered  more  occasions  for  sincere  utterance.  He  was  to  be 
succeeded  in  his  place  of  representative  by  one  who  belonged  to 
the  '  Know  Nothing.'  or  Native  American  party,  at  the  time  when 
that  organization  was  in  notoriety.  He,  of  course,  belonged  to 
the  proscribed  class.  In  the  speech  just  quoted,  he  makes  the 
following  reference  to  the  accident  of  his  foreign  birth: 

" '  Let  not  gentlemen  say  it  ill  becomes  me  to  stand  up  for  Massa- 
chusetts, inasmuch  as  she  has  included  me  in  a  proscription  that 
embraces  several  millions  of  our  countrymen.  No  temporary 
phase  of  public  sentiment,  no  popular  excitement  of  the  hour,  no

political  prejudice,  even  if  it  express  itself  in  a  blow  aimed  at  me 
personally,  can  estrange  my  heart  from  the  State  where  I  have 
found  a  happy  home  during  a  life  not  now  short,  and  in  whose 
soil  rest  the  ashes  of  my  ancestors  and  of  my  children.  I  have 
ever  found  an  enthusiastic  satisfaction  in  illustrating  her  local 
annals.  Her  schools  shed  upon  my  grateful  opening  mind  the 
lights  of  education,  and  my  mature  life  has  been  devoted  to  her 
service  to  the  extent  of  my  ability.  I  have  received  at  the  hands 
of  her  people  all  the  honors  I  ever  dreamed  of;  and  more,  I  most 
deeply  feel,  than  I  have  deserved.  The  profoundest  convictions 
of  my  soul  require  me  to  condemn,  and,  when  the  issue  shall  be 
distinctly  made,  in  a  proper  spirit  to  resist,  the  policy  that  attempts 
to  reduce  one-sixth  of  her  population  to  political  subordination 
and  inferiority.  But  no  man  has  a  claim  to  office,  and  no  one, 
with  the  spirit  of  a  freeman,  can  complain  of  the  results  of  elec- 
tions, so  far  as  they  affect  him  individually.  I  do  not  complain. 
On  the  contrary,  I  feel  particularly  prompted  to  pay  homage  to 
Massachusetts  at  this  time.  It  is  more  agreeable  to  my  self-respect 
to  vindicate  her  name  now  than  it  would  have  been  when  within 
the  reach  of  her  favors.' 

"  The  interest  which  Mr.  Upham  took  in  the  subjects  so  warmly 
agitated  when  he  was  in  Congress,  and  his  mastery  of  the  bearings 
and  momentous  character  of  the  issues  at  stake,  are  shown  in  two 
articles  which  he  contributed  to  the  North  American  Review^ 
in  October,  1854,  on  'The  Reciprocity  Treaty,'  and  in  January, 
185s,  on 'Kansas  and  Nebraska.' 

"In  an  address  at  the  opening  of  the  Republican  reading-room, 
in  Salem,  in  April,  1856,  he  made  a  very  lucid  and  intelligent 
exposition  of  '  The  Present  State  of  Parties.'  Sharing  in  the  en- 
thusiasm felt  at  the  time  for  the  prowess  and  enterprise  of  Mr. 
Fremont,  the  so-called  *  Pathfinder,*  and  believing  that  his  in- 
trepid and  vigorous  zeal  as  an  explorer  was  evidence  of  his 
capacity  to  serve  his  country  in  other  departments  requiring  man- 
liness and  public  spirit,  he  produced,  in  1856,  a  substantial  work 
of  lively  interest,  entitled  the  *  Life,  Explorations,  and  Public 
Services  of  John  Charles  Fremont.' 

"Resuming  his  place  in  the  Massachusetts  Senate  in  1857,  we 
find  in  print,  during  his  term,  a  '  Speech  on  the  Bill  for  the  Ex- 
tension of  the  Eastern  Railroad  Corporation,'  April  11,  1857,  and 
'  Speech  on  the  Kansas  resolves,'  May  7,  1857.  With  that  won- 
derful variety  of  office  holding  which  resulted  from  the  desire  of 
those  who  loved  and  respected  him  to  make  sure  of  his  services  in 
one  or  another  place  of  public  service,  he  is  found  again,  as  before

mentioned,  a  member  of  tlie  Massachusetts  House  of  Representa- 
tives in  1859  and  1S60.  And  again  he  manifests  his  interest  in 
what  he  regarded  as  a  paramount  concern  of  the  State.  In  a 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Education,  March  39,  he  deals  with 
the  school  district  system;  and  in  another  report  of  a  joint  stand- 
ing committee,  on  the  day  following,  he  discusses  the  subject  of 
academies  endowed  by  the  State. 

"In  his  several  terms  of  service,  in  both  branches  of  the  State 
Legislature,  Mr.  Upham  retained  that  esteem  and  confidence  of 
his  constituents  which  had  moved  them  to  give  him  his  offices; 
and  he  secured  the  warm  respect  of  his  associates.  As  the  pre- 
siding officer  of  the  Senate,  he  was  well  informed  as  to  the  order 
of  business  and  the  rules  of  debate,  dignified  and  urbane  in  his 
bearing  and  address,  and  considerate  of  all  that  concerned  the 
rights,  privileges,  and  high  functions  of  that  select  legislative  body. 
And,  in  alternating  as  a  member  of  the  Senate  and  the  House  of 
Representatives,  he  seemed  to  feel  that  a  place  in  either  was  of 
equal  honor  and  opportunity  to  do  good  service  to  the  State.  His 
chief  efforts,  as  has  been  seen,  were  given  to  the  interests  of  public 
education  in  the  various  grades  of  schools;  in  providing  for  them 
competent  teachers,  improved  books,  methods  and  apparatus,  and 
in  extending  and  strengthening  their  influence  to  the  ends  con- 
formed to  the  noble  aims  of  the  founders  of  the  State,  with  the 
help  of  all  the  increased  prosperity  and  intelligence  of  the  later 
generations.  Being  indebted  for  the  first  frugal  earnings  of  his 
laborious  life  to  a  slender  compensation  for  teaching  country 
schools  in  the  winter  vacations  at  college,  he  loved  to  renew  and 
strengthen  his  zeal  in  their  behalf  by  some  continuous  relation  to 
them  through  his  whole  career.  His  unstudied  extemporaneous 
remarks  when  visiting  the  schools,  as  well  as  his  carefully-prepared 
addresses  all  over  the  State,  gave  evidence  alike  of  his  desire  for, 
and  his  rich  abilities  in,  helping  toward  their  elevation  and  im- 
provement. 

"  As  a  speaker  in  the  chair  of  the  Senate,  on  the  floor  of  the 
House,  though  Mr.  Upham  may  not  have  exhibited  the  rarest 
gifts  of  oratorical  grace  of  genius,  he  always  held  the  attention  and 
engaged  the  respect  and  full  consideration  of  his  colleagues.  As 
a  preacher  for  a  score  of  years,  he  had  acquired  no  pulpit  man- 
nerisms, either  of  dulness  or  of  heat  and  exaggeration  of  utterance. 
He  had  a  finely-modulated  voice,  he  used  precision  of  method  in 
his  plan  and  arguments,  and  fortified  the  position  which  he  as- 
sumed by  a  fullness  of  knowledge,  a  spirit  of  candor,  and  an  in- 
tent to  insure  conviction  or  persuasion  by  fair  means  for  noble

ends.  In  the  frequent  cases  that  have  occurred  in  this  especially, 
as  in  the  other  New  England  States,  of  an  exchange  of  the  pulpit 
for  the  legislative  hall,  the  experiment  has  not  always  proved  a 
success  in  the  speech  or  the  inlluence  of  the  men  who  have  tried 
it.  But  in  Mr.  Upham's  case  there  never  was  any  professional 
incongruity  or  infelicity  apparent  in  the  exchange  of  positions. 
The  main  assurance  and  condition  of  his  being  listened  to  with 
confidence  in  either  place  were  fully  enjoyed  by  him  in  having  the 
sincere  respect  and  affectionate  regard  of  all  who  knew  him  as  a 
religious  teacher  or  a  legislator.  Purity  of  character,  elevation  of 
aim,  high  courtesy  in  intercourse,  and  a  well-furnished,  well-trained 
mind  were  his  sufficient  claims  to  consideration. 

"  Fifteen  years  of  life  remained  to  him  after  his  retirement  from 
his  last  public  service  in  the  Legislature,  in  i86o.  Though  enough 
of  vigor  of  mind  and  body  remained  for  valuable  literary  work, 
and  for  pleasant  social  intercourse,  he  began  to  feel  the  need  of 
caution  in  maintaining  all  his  energies.  He  welcomed,  therefore, 
the  comparative  retirement  of  his  home.  His  books,  the  accumu- 
lation of  his  years  of  study,  and  the  gatherings  from  the  distribu- 
tion of  public  documents,  and  the  stores  of  the  various  libraries 
within  his  reach  —  yielded  the  materials  for  his  enjoyment  and 
solace,  as  well  as  for  the  severer  search  for  truth. 

"  He  prepared  among  other  manuscripts,  for  delivery  before  the 
lyceums,  a  life  of  Roger  Williams,  a  life  of  Hugh  Peters,  and  a 
Life  of  George  Downing,  —  all  three  of  whom  were  personally 
associated  with  Salem.  Another  of  his  lectures  was  upon  History 
and  Biography.  The  Essex  Institute,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the 
founders,  was  an  object  of  his  love  and  labor.  Its  meetings  owed 
much  to  him  for  their  interest,  while  they  imparted  to  him  through 
his  associates  great  pleasure.  His  voice  and  pen  were  always  de- 
voted to  fond  tributes  to  such  of  those  associates  as  preceded  him 
in  the  way  for  all.  The  publications  of  this  Institute  are  enriched 
by  many  of  his  contributions. 

"  Mr.  Upham  was  not  so  engrossed  by  the  congenial  occupations 
of  the  scholar  as  to  prevent  the  continuance  of  the  friendly  social 
and  domestic  intercourse  incident  to  his  former  professional  du- 
ties. Old  friends  and  new  ones  found  him  at  their  firesides  with 
his  genial  presence,  kindly  and  judicious  in  speech  and  judg- 
ment, mature  in  wisdom,  with  an  overflow  of  knowledge  and  stores 
of  personal  experience,  a  memory  that  never  loosed  its  hold,  and 
a  radiant  religious  trust  which  heightened  the  sunlight  of  life. 

"  Mention  has  been  made  of  the  publication  by  Mr.  Upham  of  a 
series  of  '  Lectures  on  Witchcraft,    published  in  a  small  volume, 


ai4

in  1831-2.  There  were  reasons  why  his  interest  should  have  been 
intently  centered  upon  this  melancholy  subject.  He  was  a  dis- 
tinguished citizen  of  a  town  whose  name  and  fame  were  unfortu- 
nately shadowed  by  one  of  those  popular  misrepresentations,  natu- 
ral, perhaps,  but  unjust,  which  originate  wrongs  that  hardly  admit 
of  redress.  *  Salem  Witchcraft,'  '  The  Witch  Town,'  arc  epithets 
and  phrases  as  misleading  as  they  are  familiar. 

"  The  lectures  which  he  had  prepared  and  published  so  early  in 
his  ministry  at  Salem,  on  this  subject,  were  highly  appreciated  by 
the  public,  and  for  more  than  thirty  years  after  they  were  out  of 
print  he  was  earnestly  solicited  to  allow  more  editions  of  them  to 
be  issued.  But  he  had  become  well  satisfied  that  the  treatment 
which  he  had  given  in  them  of  his  sombre  theme  was  wholly  in- 
adequate. Very  much  of  his  leisure  was  devoted,  not  merely  to 
the  investigation  of  the  local  details  and  incidents  connected  with 
the  outburst  of  this  frenzy  in  Salem,  but  in  a  most  thorough  and 
well-nigh  exhaustive  examination  of  the  subject  of  witchcraft  in 
the  annals  of  the  world.  He  collected  all  possible  sources  of 
information  for  the  study  of  this  subject,  —  theologically,  phil- 
osophically, and  in  its  historical  development,  —  as  it  had  been 
treated  by  divines,  pontiffs,  monarchs,  legislators,  civilians,  phy- 
sicians, and  jurists,  and  while  it  cast  its  shadow  at  one  time  over 
all  Christendom,  had  numbered  its  victims  by  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands, the  saddest  incident  in  the  tragic  rehearsal  was  that  the  wisest 
and  best  men  of  their  ages  and  countries,  who  might  have  been 
looked  to  as  lights  and  guides  for  the  bewildered  people  had  given 
their  testimony  to  the  reality  and  enormity  of  the  crime  of  witchcraft. 

"  After  he  had  thoroughly  informed  himself  on  his  subject  in 
its  broadest  relations,  following  it  into  all  its  dark  and  mysterious 
intricacies,  he  justly  felt  that  it  was  in  his  power,  and  was  conse- 
quently a  matter  of  obligation  to  him  to  write  upon  it  in  a  way  to 
meet  the  highest  demands  of  truth — in  fidelity  to  history  and  in  the 
treatment  of  a  profoundly  serious  theme  in  its  psychological  and 
religious  relations.  The  result  of  his  researches  and  reflections 
appeared  in  a  work  in  two  substantial  volumes,  published  in  1867, 
entitled  '  Salem  Witchcraft ;  with  an  Account  of  Salem  Village, 
and  a  History  of  Opinions  on  Witchcraft  and  Kindred  Subjects.' 
How,  in  such  a  community  of  people,  and  under  such  conditions, 
a  spark  of  mischief  generated  by  the  uncanny  tricks  of  a  group  of 
children,  and  at  once  blown  into  a  flame  by  the  advice  of  minister, 
doctor,  and  magistrate  —  who  of  course  shared  in  the  universal 
delusion  —  blazed  out  into  consequences  grouped  under  the  phrase 
'Salem  Witchcraft,'  may  be  learned  from  these  volumes.     The

»«S 


pages,  though  often  harrowing,  have  an  absorbing  spell,  which 
even  enthrals  and  fascinates. 

"  In  an  article  which  appeared  in  the  North  American  Rmew,  in 
April,  1869,  Mr.  Upham  was  sharply  challenged  and  criticised  for 
the  alleged  injustice  of  his  severe  treatment  of  the  Rev.  Cotton 
Mather  fOr  his  agency  in  the  witchcraft  delusion,  as  a  ready, 
restless  and  zealous  abettor  of  the  superstitions  from  which  it 
started,  and  of  the  distressinj;  horrors  in  which  it  culminated. 
Mr.  Upham  replied  to  this  criticism,  reinforcing  all  his  original 
statements  and  arguments  in  an  extended  and  elaborate  commu- 
nication which  he  made  to  the  New  York  Historical  Magazine 
for  September,  1869. 

"  The  same  year  in  which  the  volumes  just  referred  to  were  pub- 
lished, he  wrote  and  delivered  his  elaborate  historical  discourse 
at  the  re  dedication  —  after  reconstruction  —  of  the  place  of  wor- 
ship of  the  First  Church  in  Salem,  Dec.  8,  1867.  On  the  i8th  of 
July,  1868,  he  delivered  before  the  Essex  Institute  a  memoir  of 
his  friend  Francis  Peabody,  which  was  published.  He  took  part 
in  the  course  of  lectures  delivered  before  the  Lowell  Institute,  in 
1S68-9,  by  members  of  the  Historical  Society,  relating  to  the  early 
history  of  Massachusetts.  His  lecture  delivered  Jan.  26,  1869, 
was  on  '  The  Records  of  Massachusetts,  under  its  First  Charter.' 
It  has  its  place  in  the  published  volume.  In  April,  1869,  he  read 
at  a  meeting  of  the  Essex  Institute,  a  memoir  of  Hon.  Daniel  P. 
King,  representative  in  Congress,  which  was  published  by  the 
Institute  Press.  To  the  January,  1873,  number  of  the  Univer- 
salist  Quarterly,  he  contributed  an  article  on  '  The  Rise  of  the 
Republic  of  the  United  States.' 

"  During  Mr,  Upham's  first  five  years  in  Salem,  he  numbered 
among  the  members  of  his  society  and  church,  the  Hon.  Timothy 
Pickering.  This  distinguished  patriot  died  in  Salem,  in  his  84th 
year,  in  1829.  The  last  surviving  son  of  Col.  Pickering  had 
undertaken  —  after  the  death  of  his  brother,  who  had  commenced 
the  work  —  to  continue  the  biography  of  his  father,  a  single 
volume  of  which  had  been  published  in  1867.  Just  before  his 
death,  the  next  year,  he  requested  that  the  completion  of  the 
biography  should  be  committed  to  Mr.  Upham.  Though  the 
latter  had  about  that  time  felt  the  first  symptoms  of  a  local  malady 
which  kept  him  much  at  home,  impaired  his  bodily  vigor,  and 
finally  caused  his  death,  he  accepted  it.  After  spending  more 
than  three  years  of  labor  over  the  colonel's  manuscripts,  and  con- 
sulting other  sources  of  illustrative  information  over  a  wide  field, 
he  had  the  satisfaction  of  giving  to  the  press  the  matter  of  three

additional  volumes,  which  were  published  in  1873,  thus  securing 
in  continuation  of  the  single  volume  already  in  print,  an  adequate 
'  Life  of  Thomas  Pickering.'  Probably  no  more  congenial  work 
could  have  occupied  the  interval  of  retired  leisure  just  preceding 
the  disabling  physical  infirmities  of  the  last  three  years  of  Mr. 
Upham's  life  than  the  re-reading  the  struggling  and  critical  inci- 
dents attending  the  birth  and  early  pupilage  of  our  nation  as 
illustrated  in  the  career  of  one  of  its  ablest,  most  conspicuous  and 
faithful  patriots. 

"  Mr.  Upham  maintained  through  his  whole  mature  life  a  diligent 
and  extensive  correspondence  with  private  friends  and  with  men 
in  office.  He  was  genial,  hearty,  free  and  confidential  in  his  com- 
munications with  those  whom  he  esteemed  and  loved.  He  com- 
mented on  the  development  of  opinions  and  ideas,  and  kept  fully 
abreast  of  the  most  advanced  thought  —  at  least  in  acquainting 
himself  with  it — though  by  no  means  always  with  the  result  of 
accepting  its  theories  or  conclusions.  Within  the  range  and  de- 
partment of  critical  investigation  and  Biblical  study  which  had  so 
interested  him  in  his  original  profession,  the  progress  of  specula- 
tion opened  some  bold  questions  which  he  was  contented  to  leave 
where  he  found  them.  He  had  no  weak  timidity  which  would 
lead  to  discourage  or  repress  any  natural  restlessness  as  to  the 
security  of  accepted  foundations  and  sanctions  of  religious  faith, 
or  the  confidence  with  which  some  avowed  that  they  had  dis- 
credited and  repudiated  these,  having  found  better,  or  were  wait- 
ing patiently  for  a  substitute.  He  had  so  certified  to  himself  and 
assimilated  the  essential  verities  for  consecrating  the  responsi- 
bilities and  duties  of  human  life,  for  perfect  reconciliation  to  the 
Divine  will,  as  it  leads  our  way  through  mysteries  and  buffetings, 
and  for  a  calm  reliance  upon  the  lessons  and  hopes  of  Christ's 
gospel,  that  he  '  kept  the  faith.'  It  was  his  reliance  and  solace 
when  seclusion  and  pain,  by  day  and  night,  cast  him  upon  his  own 
resources  of  patience  and  trust. 

"Among  the  friends  and  correspondents  with  whom  for  long 
years  Mr.  Upham  maintained  the  most  hearty  and  confidential  in- 
tercourse was  Edward  Everett,  who  turned  to  him  freely  for 
sympathy,  advice,  and  sometimes  for  helpful  guidance  on  the 
exigencies  of  his  brilliant  career. 

"By  a  letter  not  received  by  Mr.  Upham's  family  till  after  his 
decease  —  indeed,  it  was  not  written  till  nearly  a  fortnight  after 
that  event  had  occurred,  as  it  was  dated  June  27,  1875  —  it 
appeared  that  he  had  been  elected  a  fellow  of  the 'Royal  Histori- 
cal Society  of  London.'

"  It  was  on  June  15,  i  H  75  —  two  days  preceding  the  general  and 
entluisiastic  Centennial  celebration  in  Boston  and  over  a  wide 
neighborhood  —  that  Mr.  Upham's  life  came  to  a  peaceful  close. 
The  event  was  duly  recognized  by  the  city  authorities  and  among 
the  friends  of  the  departed,  who  had  been  so  faithfully  served  in 
the  \'aried  career,  and  who  so  honored  and  respected  the  character 
of  the  divine,  the  statesman,  the  man  of  letters,  and  the  citizen. 

"  His  funeral  took  place  from  the  First  Church  on  Friday,  June 
18,  and  was  attended  by  a  large  company  of  his  friends.  The 
Rev.  E.  S.  Atwood,  minister  of  the  South  Church  in  Salem, 
offered  prayer.  The  Rev.  J.  T.  Hewes,  Mr.  Upham's  successor 
in  the  First  Church,  read  selections  from  Scrij)ture,  and  an  ad- 
dress was  delivered  by  the  writer  of  this  Memoir." 

Mr.  Upham's  remams  were  deposited  at  the  Harmony  Grove 
Cemetery. 

Dr.  Ellis,  as  the  printed  sheets  containing  the  publication  of  his 
address  at  the  funeral  service  of  Mr.  Upham,  were  passing  through 
his  hands,  added  the  following  brief  note  chronicling  the  death  of 
Mrs.  Upham: 

"  Mrs.  Ann  Susan  Upham,  after  suffering  from  long  protracted 
illness,  died  in  Salem  on  the  5th  of  April,  1877,  at  the  age  of 
nearly  73.  This  excellent  lady  shared  largely  in  the  talents  and 
brilliant  powers  of  her  family.  A  life-long  friend  of  her  own  sex 
briefly  expresses  her  appreciation  of  Mrs.  Upham  in  these  words: 
'  She  was  a  truly  feminine  soul,  a  clear  mind,  a  witty  spirit.'  " 

The  following  allusion  to  the  decease  of  Mrs.  Upham  was  made 
by  the  pastor  of  the  First  Church  at  Salem,  at  the  conclusion  of 
his  sermon  on  the  Sunday  morning  following  her  death: 

*'  A  gifted  woman,  the  wife  of  him  who  for  many  years  served  at 
these  altar-places,  we  laid  away  yesterday  beneath  the  fresh  spring 
grass  and  the  first  (lowers,  with  the  tenderest  love,  and  in  trium- 
phant hope. 

"She  inherited  genius,  but  harmonized  all  the  faculties  and 
functions  of  her  nature  with  truth  and  beauty,  by  education  and 
culture,  by  the  study  of  nature  and  of  art,  by  the  creation  and  com- 
position of  poems  for  the  home  circle  full  of  cheerful  wit  and 
charming  quaintness,  embalming  in  the  memories  of  her  children 
the  pleasant  associations  and  scenes  of  domestic  life  and  love.  A 
woman  of  a  dee|)ly  religious  nature  and  life,  rational,  reverent  and 
devout;  sometimes  mistrustful  of  self,  sometimes  despondent,  but 
with  a  cheerful,  gladsome,  genial  faith  in  God  and  humanity,  ful- 
filling all  the  duties  of  daughter,  sister,  wife,  mother,  friend,  with 
obedience  and  care,  with  fidelity  and  the  sweetest  love."

Upham  Genealogy. 


5i  1793;  m.  Sarah  Keyes,  of  Ashford,  Conn.,  in  1814,  who  d.  May 
8,  1856;  he  was  a  lawyer,  and  U.  S.  Senator  from  Vermont  from 
1841  until  his  death,  Jan.  14, 1853,  at  Washington,  from  small-pox; 
his  remains  were  buried  in  the  Congressional  Cemetery,  at  Wash- 
ington. Washburn's  History  of  Leicester,  Mass.,  has  the  follow- 
ing notice  of  Senator  William  Upham: 

"  His  father  moved  to  Montpelier,  Vt.,  in  1803.  William  studied 
law  with  Judge  Prentiss,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  about  181 1. 
He  was  a  prominent  lawyer,  and  was  elected  to  the  U.  S.  Senate 
in  184T,  re-elected  in'1847,  and  died  at  Washington,  Tan.  14,  i8s3' 
When  a  boy,  William  crushed  Ms  hand  in  a  cider  laill.  It  was 
trimmed  with  a  hatchet.  Being  unfitted  for  manual  labor,  it  was 
determined  to  educate  him.  He  studied  at  the  academy  in  1799 
and  1800.  He  studied  law  with  Judge  Prentiss,  and  was  admitted 
to  the  bar  about  181 1,  and  became  his  partner.  He  attained  a 
high  rank  in  his  profession.  He  was  very  successful  as  a  jury 
advocate.  He  possessed  a  great  share  of  wit  and  humor,  and 
occasionally  indulged  in  sarcasm  with  telling  effect.  He  was  a 
social,  pleasant,  and  agreeable  companion,  and  had  acquired  such 
a  degree  of  popular  favor  and  confidence,  that  when  his  former 
partner  was  appointed  District  Judge  of  the  U.  S.  Court,  Mr.  Up- 
ham became  his  successor  in  the  U.  S.  Senate  in  1841,  and  was 
re-elected  in  1847.  He  died  at  Washington,  while  still  Senator, 
in  1853.  . 

"  He  did  not  speak  often  in  the  Senate,  but  whenever  he  did,  it 
was  with  much  force,  directness,  and  effect.  He  was  stanch  in 
his  political  opinions,  and  commanded  attention  as  an  independ- 
ent thinker,  and  an  outspoken  representative  of  New  England 
sentiment." 

The  following  sketch  of  the  life  of  Senator  Upham  is  from  the 
History  of  Montpelier,  Vt.,  published  in  i860,  by  the  Hon.  D.  P. 
Thompson: 

"  The  Hon.  William  Upham,  son  of  Captain  Samuel  Upham,  was 
born  in  Leicester,  Mass.,  Aug.  5,  1792,  where,  while  a  resident 
there,  he  received  only  the  first  rudiments  of  an  education,  being 
too  young  to  attend  the  academy  in  that  town.  In  1802,  his  father 
and  family  removed  to  Vermont,  and  settled  on  a  farm  near  the 
center  of  Montpelier.  Here  from  the  age  of  ten  to  about  fifteen, 
he  worked  on  his  father's  farm,  only  attending  the  district  school 
in  the  winter.  At  this  time  he  met  with  an  accident,  which,  at  the 
time,  apparently  gave  a  new  turn  to  his  destinies  for  life:  While 
•  oaged  about  a  cider  mill,  his  hand  was  caught  in  the  machinery, 
all  the  fingers  of  the  right  hand  were  so  badly  crushed  that

they  had  to  be  amputated  even  with  the  palm.  This  accident  un- 
fitted him  for  manual  labor,  led  his  father  to  consent  to  what  had 
before  been  his  wish,  the  commencement  of  a  course  of  education, 
prepa  ^to'ry  to  the  study  of  law.  Accordingly  he  attended  the  old 
academy  at  Montpelier,  a  few  terms,  and  then,  with  the  late  Rev. 
William  Perrin,  of  Berlin,  for  a  fellow  student,  pursued  the  study 
of  Greek  and  Latin,  about  one  year,  with  the  Rev.  James  Hobart 
of  the  last-mentioned  town.  In  the  year  1808  he  entered  the  office 
of  the  Hon.  Samuel  Prentiss,  in  Montpelier,  as  a  law  student,  and 
after  pursuing  his  legal  studies  there  for  about  three  years,  he  was 
admitted  to  the  bar,  and  soon  went  into  partnership  with  Mr. 
Bayliss  a  few  years;  he  then  opened  an  office  alone  in  Montpelier, 
and  from  that  time,  until  his  election  to  the  U.  S.  Senate,  he,  either 
alone  or  with  his  temporary  partners,  continued  in  the  constant 
and  successful  practice  of  his  profession,  the  business  of  which 
was  always  more  than  ample  enough  to  require  his  whole  time  and 
attention.  For  the  first  thirty  years  of  his  professional  career, 
Mr.  Upham,  with  the  exception  of  only  one  instance,  steadily 
declined  the  many  proffers  of  his  friends  for  his  promotion  to  civil 
office,  though  his  opportunities  for  holding  such  offices  included 
the  chance  for  a  seat  on  the  bench  of  the  Supreme  Court.  The 
excepted  instance  was  involved  in  his  consent  to  run  as  a  candi- 
date for  the  town  representative  in  1827;  when,  though  the  ma- 
jority of  his  party  was  a  matter  of  much  doubt,  he  was  trium- 
phantly elected.  In  1828,  he  was  re-elected,  and  in  1830  received 
a  third  election,  serving  through  all  three  terms  to  the  entire  sat- 
isfaction of  his  constituents,  and  therein  exhibiting  talents  as  a 
public  debater  which  gave  him  a  high  position  in  the  Legislature. 
In  the  presidential  campaign  of  1840,  he,  for  the  first  time,  took  an 
active  part  in  politics,  and  to  use  av.:odern  phrase,  stumped  nearly 
the  whole  state,  making  himself  everywhere  known  to  the  people 
by  the  peculiar  traits  of  his  popular  eloquence,  and  by  doing  effi- 
cient political  service  in  favor  of  the  election  of  General  Harrison. 
In  1 84 1  he  was  elected  to  a  seat  in  the  United  States  Senate;  and 
in  1847  he  was  re-elected  to  the  same  distinguished  office,  and  died 
of  malignant  small-pox,  at  Washington,  before  the  completion  of 
his  last  term,  on  January  14,  1853,  aged  61  years.  His  remains 
repose  in  the  Congressional  burial  ground  in  that  city. 

"  In  his  professional  career,  to  which  the  main  energies  of  his  life 
were  devoted,  he  became  widely  known  as  one  of  the  best  advo- 
cates in  the  state.  He  was,  indeed,  what  might  be  called  a  natural- 
born  lawyer,  and  the  practice  of  his  profession  seemed  to  amount 
to  almost  a  passion  with  him;  and,  even  in  his  youth,  before  he 


I

commenced  his  legal  studies,  he  would  often,  it  is  said,  leap  from 
his  dreams  in  his  bed,  and  commence  pleading  some  imaginary 
law  case.  And,  what  he  determined  to  be,  that  he  became,  one 
of  the  most  successful  jury  lawyers  to  be  found  in  any  country. 
Never  hesitating  for  a  word,  and  fluent  almost  beyond  example, 
tlie  style  of  his  speaking  was  rapid,  thoroughly  earnest,  and  often 
highly  impassioned,  and  so  magnetic  was  tlrat  earnestness  and 
seeming  confidence  in  his  case,  and  so  skillfully  wrought  up  were 
his  arguments,  that  bad  indeed  must  have  b>-'  n  his  side  of  the 
question,  if  he  did  not  command  the  sympathies  and  convictions 
of  a  good  part,  if  not  all  of  the  jury." 

At  the  time  the  customary  resolutions,  on  the  occasion  of  his 
death,  were  introduced  in  Congress,  Senator  Foot,  of  \  ermont,  in 
his  obituary  address,  said  of  him: 

"  His  impaired  health,  for  some  years  past,  has  restrained  him 
from  participating  so  generally  and  so  actively  in  the  discussions 
of  this  body,  as  his  inclinations  might  otherwise  have  induced  him 
to  do,  or  his  ability  as  a  public  debater  might  perhaps  have  de- 
manded of  him.  Nevertheless  his  speeches  on  several  important 
and  existing  public  questions  have  the  peculiar  impress  of  his 
earnestness,  his  research,  his  ability  and  his  patriotic  devotion  to 
the  best  interests  of  his  country.  A  striking  example  is  furnished 
of  his  fidelity  to  the  trust  committed  to  him,  and  his  constant  and 
patient  attention  to  his  public  duties  here,  in  the  fact,  which  I 
had  from  his  own  mouth,  that  during  the  ten  years  of  his  services 
in  this  body,  he  never  absented  himself  from  the  city  of  Washing- 
ton on  a  single  day,  while  Congress  was  in  session,  and  never  failed, 
while  the  condition  of  his  health  would  permit,  of  daily  occupying 
his  seat  in  the  Senate." 

Senator  Seward  said :  "  William  Upham  was  of  Vermont ;  a 
consistent  exponent  of  her  institutions.  He  was  a  man  of  strong 
and  vigorous  judgment,  which  acted  always  by  a  process  of  sound, 
inductive  reasoning,  and  his  compeers  here  will  bear  witness  that 
he  was  equal  to  the  varied  and  vast  responsibilities  of  the  senato- 
rial trust.  He  was  a  plain,  unassuming,  unostentatious  man.  He 
never  spoke  for  display,  but  always  for  conviction.  He  was  an 
honest  and  just  man.  He  had  gotten  nothing  by  fraud  or  guile ; 
and  so  he  lived  without  any  fear  of  losing  whatever  of  fortune  or 
position  he  had  attained.  No  gate  was  so  strong,  no  lock  so  fast 
and  firm  as  the  watch  he  kept  against  the  approach  of  corruption, 
or  even  undue  influence  or  persuasion.  His  natural  policy  was 
the  increase  of  industry,  the  cultivation  of  peace,  and  the  patron- 
age of  improvement.     He  adopted  his  opinions  without  regard  to

their  popularity,  and  never  stifled  his  convictions  of  the  truth,  nor 
suppressed  their  utterance,  through  any  fear  or  favor,  or  of  faction; 
but  he  was,  on  the  contrary,  consistent  and  constant 

'  As  pilot  well  expert  in  periloiti  wave, 
That  to  a  iteadfMt  itarre  hit  course  hath  bent.' "  ' 

Mr.  Upham's  best  known  speeches  in  the  Senate  were:  His 
speech  on  the  Three  Million  Bill,  delivered  Maich  i,  1847;  on  the 
Ten  Regiment  Bill,  and  the  Mexican  War,  delivered  Feb.  15,  1848; 
on  the  Bill  to  Establish  Territorial  Governments  of  Oregon,  New 
Mexico  and  California,  delivered  July  28,  1848;  on  the  Compro- 
mise Bill,  delivered  July  i  and  3,  1850.  These  were  nil  published 
in  pamphlet  form,  as  well  as  in  all  the  leading  political  papers  of 
the  day,  and  at  once  received  the  stamp  of  public  approbation  as 
elaborate  and  able  efforts.  But  besides  these,  and  besides  also  the 
numerous  written  and  published  reports  he  made  during  his  Con- 
gressional career,  as  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Revolutionary 
Claims,  on  the  Post-ofRce  and  Post-Roads,  and  of  other  commit- 
tees, Mr.  Upham  made  many  other  speeches  on  various  subjects, 
which,  though  less  extensively  circulated  perhaps,  than  those  above 
mentioned,  yet  received  almost  equal  praise  from  high  quarters. 
Of  the  latter  may  be  cited,  as  an  instance,  his  speech  in  opposi- 
tion to  the  Tariff  Bill  of  1846;  and  to  show  the  approbation  with 
which  it  was  received  at  the  time  among  distinguished  men,  the 
following  characteristic  note  from  Daniel  Webster  is  given,  which 
was  sent  to  Mr.  Upham,  the  evening  after  the  speech  was  delivered, 
and  which,  after  his  death,  was  found  among  his  private  papers  : 


Mv  Dear  Sir: 


"Thursday  Eve.,  July  26,  1846. 


If  you  could  conveniently  call  at  my  house,  at  eight  or  /line 
o'clock  in  the  morning,  I  should  be  glad  to  see  you  for  five  min- 
utes. I  wish  to  take  down  some  of  the  statements  made  by  you 
respecting  the  market  abroad  for  our  wool.  Following  in  your 
track,  my  work  is  to  compare  the  value  of  the  foreign  and  home 
markets.  Yours  truly, 

Daniel  Webster. 

"  If  I  had  the  honor  of  being  a  correspondent  of  Mrs.  Upham, 
I  should  write  to  her  to  say,  that  you  made  an  excellent  speech. 
The  point  of  the  duty  of  our  government  to  fulfill  its  pledges,  so 
frequently  and  solemnly  made,  was  exhibited  in  a  very  strong 
light.  D.  W." 

In  his  domestic  relations,  Mr.  Upham  was  also  fortunate  and 
happy.     Near  the  close  of  1814,  he  married  Miss  Sarah  Keys  of 


340 


Upham  Genbalooy. 


Aihford,  Conn.,  and  to  them  five  children  were  born.     After  her 

husband's  death,  Mrs.  Upham,  though  of  a  buoyant  disposition, 

and  striving  hard  to  bear  her  loss  with  Christian  resignation,  soon 

began  visil  'y  to  droop,  and  on  the  8th  of  May,  1856,  followed  him 

to  the  grave.    Hon.  William  Upham  and  his  wife,  Sarah  Keys,  had: 

361  I  William  Keys,  b.  April  3,   1817,  at  Montpelier,  Vt. ; 

m.  Maria  Elizabeth  Weeks,  of  Hardwiclc,  Vt.;  was  a 

lawyer ;  lived  in  Salem  and  Canfield,  O. 

II  Charles  Carrol,  b.  1818;  he  was  a  purser  in  the  Navy, 

and  d.  1867 ;  left  a  wife,  but  no  children. 

III  Sarah  Sumner,  b.  i8ai ;  m.  1840,  Hon.  William  George 

Langdon,  of  Montpelier,  who  d.  1870 ;  no  children ; 
she  d.  in  Boston,  May  37,  1888.  The  Boston  Post 
of  May  39,  1888,  contained  the  following:  "  Mrs. 
Sarah  S.  Langdon,  whose  sudden  death  occurred  in 
this  city  Sunday,  was  a  daughter  of  the  late  Senator 
Upham,  of  Montpelier,  Vt.  She  had  come  to  this 
city  to  consult  an  oculist,  and  had  been  under  treat- 
ment some  months.  A  few  days  since  she  was 
stricken  with  apoplexy,  from  which  she  never  rallied. 
Mrs.  Langdon  was  widely  known  in  the  social  circles 
of  New  York  and  Washington,  and  was  everywhere 
most  highly  esteemed  and  beloved.  She  was  noted 
for  her  deeds  of  unostentatious  charity,  and  at  her 
home  in  Montpelier,  her  kindly  face  was  familiar 
among  the  deserving  poor.  Personally  she  was  a 
lady  of  high  accomplishments,  who  made  friends 
wherever  she  went,  and  her  sudden  demise  will  cause 
sorrow  to  many.  The  funeral  will  take  place  to-day 
from  her  late  home  in  Montpelier." 

IV  Mary  Annette,  b.  1835 ;  never  married ;  previous  to 

the  death  of  Mrs.  Langdon  she  u::  lally  made  it  her 
home  with  her,  the  two  sisters  spending  their  winters 
in  Florida  or  California,  and  the  summers  at  Nahant, 
Newport,  Saratoga,  or  other  watering  places  in  the 
North. 
There  was  another  son  born  in  this  family  who  died  in  in- 
fancy, and  of  whom  there  is  no  record.

196.  Alvin''  Upham  (Jonathan*,  Jonathan",  Samuel*,  John*, 
Phineas*,  John'),  of  Westminster,  Mass.,  b.  in  Holland,  Mass., 
Aug.  2,  1799;  m.  Sarah  Derby  in  1827 ;  b.  in  Westminster,  Feb. 
26,  1800;  d.  in  Racine,  Wis.,  Sept.,  1878 ;  he  d.  in  Niles,  Mich., 
1852. 

He  wa£.  many  years  in  business  at  Westminster,  where  he  was 
last  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  cane-seated  chairs,  supplying 
firms  in  various  parts  of  Mass.,  and  forwarding  his  stock  to  those 
places  with  the  teams  which  he  kept  on  the  road  for  that  purpose. 
A  business  firm  owed  him  a  sum  of  money,  large  for  those  days, 
to  recover  which  he  employed  Franklin  Pierce  (afterward  presi- 
dent of  the  U.  S.).  A  delay  in  the  suit  followed,  during  which 
the  available  property  of  this  firm  was  placed  beyond  the  reach  of 
the  law.  This  brought  financial  disaster,  the  sacrifice  of  his  busi- 
ness, and  his  home  in  Westminster.  He  moved  West  with  his  wife 
and  eight  children,  locating  at  Niles,  Mich.,  and  where  he  died  a  few 
months  later.  After  his  death  the  family  moved  to  Racine,  Wis.,  the 
elder  children  engagin'g  in  teaching  and  commercial  occupations, 
the  younger  ones  obtaining  an  education  at  the  high  school. 

Of  his  life  and  character  his  daughter  says :  "  Looking  back- 
ward into  the  old  white  house,  opposite  the  tavern,  our  old  New 
England  home,  I  see  my  father,  Alvin  Upham.  Physically  he  was 
rather  below  the  average  man  in  weight  and  strength,  though  fully 
of  the  average  height.  He  had  a  thoughtful,  earnest  look,  large,  dark- 
blue  eyes,  a  full  brow,  with  mouth  and  chin,  denoting  firmness 
and  strength  of  character;  his  countenance  lighted  by  the  half 
hidden  quiet  humor  of  his  nature ;  brightened  also  by  a  trusting 
spirit,  which,  unfortunately  for  him  and  his,  darkened  and  bur- 
dened his  last  days  by  an  over-much  confidence  in  others.  In 
town  and  church  his  quiet  influence  was  felt,  and  always  for  the 
good.  He  was  given  to  hospitality,  and  an  indulgent  father ;  some 
of  his  children  were  ever  at  his  side,  whether  at  his  business  or  iii 
his  home.  Grace  was  said  by  him  before  meals,  and  there  was 
daily  family  prayer,  and  reading  of  the  Scriptures.  His  mother 
lived  with  him  many  years,  dying  in  his  home  after  she  had  passed 
into  the  nineties.  Her  last  look  to  him  was  a  benediction,  for  it 
said :  'Alvin  you  have  been  a  good  son. '  He  was  a  good  son,  a  good 
husband,  a  good  father,  and  a  good  citizen.  His  was  a  life  of  fifty- 
two  years, '  filled  with  little  nameless  acts  of  kindness  and  love.    '

at  Newark,  Del.,  which  position  he  held  for  three  years,  at  the 
same  time  pursuing  the  study  of  law,  and  writing  editorials  for  the 
Delaware  Gazette — then  the  leading  Democratic  paper  of  Dela- 
ware. I  »  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Baltimore  1835.  He  re- 
turned to  Delaware,  and  commenced  the  practice  of  law  in 
Wilmington,  where  he  was  elected  City  Attorney  the  year  following. 
From  1834  to  1837  he  was  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  Delaware 
Gazette  and  American  fFa/^/zwaw,  published  in  Wilmington.  After 
having  married,  in  1836,  he  left  Wilmington  in  the  fall  of  1837, 
and  settled  in  Milwaukee,  in  the  then  Territory  of  Wisconsin. 
Here  he  formed  a  law  partnership,  the  firm  being  Upham  &  Wal- 
worth, and  was  known  as  such  for  many  years.  Later  he  formed 
a  partnership  with  the  Hon.  Wilson  Graham. 

Mr.  Upham  was  a  member  of  the  Wisconsin  Territorial  Legis- 
lature in  1840-1  and  1842.  He  was  elected  County  Attorney  for 
Milwaukee  county  1843.  He  was  President  of  the  Constitutional 
Convention,  which  met  at  Madison  in  1846  to  frame  a  Constitution 
for  the  new  State  of  Wisconsin.  He  was  Mayor  of  Milwaukee 
1849  and  1850.  He  was  the  Democratic  nominee  for  Governor  of 
Wisconsin  in  1851.  He  was  U.  S.  Attorney  for  the  District  of 
Wisconsin  from  1857  to  1861  — during  which  period  the  memor- 
able Booth  trials  were  in  progress. 

His  health  failing  in  1863,  he  retired  from  the  active  duties  of 
his  profession,  after  an  honorable  and  lucrative  practice  from 
1837  to  1863.  His  leisure  after  his  retirement  was  occupied  in  the 
study  of  astronomy  —  one  which  had  been  a  favorite  with  him  at 
college  —  and  with  the  aid  of  an  astronomical  telescope  of  large 
power,  he  was  able  to  review  his  investigations  in  this  direction, 
learning  of  the  great  progress  which  has  been  made  in  that  science 
during  the  years  which  he  had  been  actively  employed  in  his  pro- 
fession, and  to  some  extent  verifying  the  computations  annually 
made  at  the  Astronomical  Observatory  in  Washington. 

He  died  July  19,  1877,  in  his  68th  year,  and  was  buried  at  the 
Forest  Home  Cemetery,  near  Milwaukee,  where  a  monument  has 
been  erected  to  his  memory.  His  wife  survived  his  death,  but 
died  September  9,  1883.*    They  had: 

I  John  Jaques,  b.  July  25,  1837,  in  Wilmington,  Del., 
entered  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy  at  West  Point, 
July  I,  1854,  graduating  1859;  brevet  2d  lieut.  9th

Wickford,  R.  I.,  Aug.,  1835,  who  was  b.  May  25,  181 7,  and  d.

O.  S.  Howard,  of  Townshend,  and  had  two  sons  and  one  daugh- 
ter.) He  was  a  Baptist  minister,  and  d.  June  30, 1843,  ae.  33  years. 
The  following  biographical  notice  was  published  in  the  Baptist 
Memorial  and  Monthly  Chronicle,  New  York,  for  Sept.,  1843: 

"  William  D.  Upham  was  born  in  Weathersfield,  Vt.,  Feb.  13, 
1810.  Inclination  and  capacity  for  literary  pursuits  strongly 
marked  his  early  life.  At  the  age  of  eighteen  he  determined  to 
devote  himself  to  the  profession  of  law.  After  completing  his 
preparatory  studies  at  Chester,  Vt.,  and  Middleboro,  Mass.,  he 
spent  a  summer  in  teaching  in  the  city  of  New  York,  and  entered 
Brown  University  in  October,  1831.  He  spent  the  next  winter  in 
teaching  at  Dedham,  Mass.  It  was  here  the  great  work  was 
effected  which  changed  all  his  feelings  and  pursuits.  Once  in 
conversation  with  the  writer,  after  saying  that  in  early  life  he  had 
frequently  been  the  subject  of  religious  impressions,  and  had 
sometimes  formed  resolutions,  which  gave  him  transient  peace, 
but  made  no  permanent  change  in  his  character;  and  that,  although

he  had  ever  avoided  profanity  and  other  gross  vices,  his  views  ot 
religion  were  becoming  sceptical,  and  he  deemed  Christianity  un- 
worthy of  his  attention,  he  proceeded  to  give  the  following  account 
of  this  change: 

"  *  During  the  session  of  anniversary  meetings  with  the  Congre- 
gational Church  at  Dedham,  in  March,  1832,  as  I  stood  by  the 
door  one  bright  morning,  I  accepted  an  invitation  to  go  to  the 
prayer  meeting.  As  I  sat  among  the  praying  I  thought:  How 
solemn,  and  how  different  from  mine  are  the  feelings  of  these 
people  !  I  was  impressed  with  the  thought  of  my  own  dishonesty; 
I  had  never  treated  the  subject  of  religion  candidly.  How  vain 
and  conceited  I  had  been  !  I  resolved  to  read  the  Bible,  and  let 
it  speak  for  itself.  The  Bible  now  seemed  another  book,  every 
verse  and  line  was  full  of  meaning.  Several  evenings  were  passed 
in  this  way,  till  I  found  I  could  only  go  like  the  prodigal  to  God. 
I  kneeled  to  pray,  but  all  God's  universe  seemed  to  be  telling  me 
I  was  too  vile  to  pray.  I  kneeled  again,  and  poured  out  my  feel- 
ings to  God.  Some  relief  came,  yet  I  dared  not  hope  I  had  fully 
submitted  to  Him.  One  night  I  felt  to  place  myself  in  His  hands 
to  dispose  of  as  it  seemed  to  Him  good;  whether  saved  or  lost,  I 
resolved  to  be  His.' 

"Mr.  Upham  now  felt  a  calm  peace,  the  peace  of  those  justified 
by  faith.  And  his  after  life  testified  that  unlike  his  previous  self- 
formed  resolutions,  which  as  the  early  dew  had  passed  away,  this 
was  according  to  the  effectual  workings  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  He 
returned  to  the  university  with  new  and  nobler  aims,  and  thence- 
forth the  glory  of  God,  and  the  gospel  of  Christ  were  paramount 
in  his  esteem.  In  devotion  to  these  he  found  his  happiness;  still 
a  predilection  for  Pedo-Baptist  views  on  the  one  hand,  and  on 
the  other,  a  firm  determination  to  adopt  no  sentiment  which  he 
could  not  clearly  sustain  from  the  word  of  God,  kept  him  for 
some  time  from  a  public  profession  of  religion.  At  length  his 
love  of  truth  prevailed,  and  he  was  baptized  into  the  fellowship  of 
the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Providence,  on  the  first  Lord's  dr.y  in 
November. 

"  He  now  felt  that  God  had  called  him  to  dedicate  his  life  to 
Hhs  service,  and  with  the  approbation  of  the  Church,  directed  his 
course  toward  the  ministry.  At  the  close  of  the  second  year  he 
was  compelled  to  leave  the  university  for  the  want  of  means,  and 
spent  the  next  three  years  in  teaching  in  the  village  of  Wickford 
and  North  Kingston,  R.  I.  He  often  mentioned  this  as  the  most 
interesting  period  of  his  life.  The  only  worship  in  the  place  was 
Episcopalian.  The  few  scattered  Baptists  had  no  church  organ-

ization  or  meetings;  vital  religion  was  little  thought  of.  Mr. 
Upham,  unassisted,  collected  a  Sunday-school  of  40  scholars.  He 
soon  after  appointed  religious  meetings  on  Sabbath  afternoons, 
where  he  read  and  expounded  the  Scriptures.  The  blessing  of 
God  so  attended  the  effort,  that  at  the  close  of  the  year  a  sub- 
scription was  raised,  and  a  minister  obtained.  The  few  Baptists 
were  soon  collected  into  a  church  of  13  members,  of  whom  Mr. 
Upham  was  one.  A  revival  followed,  and  at  the  close  of  the  year 
they  numbered  45.  During  the  next  year  a  meeting-house  was 
built,  which  cost  Mr.  Upham  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  be- 
sides much  time  as  one  of  the  building  committee.  He  likewise 
gave  the  church  twenty-five  dollars  in  a  Sunday-school  library. 
Such  sacrifices  from  one  who  had  suspended  his  own  course  of 
study  for  want  of  means,  show  no  ordinary  devotion  to  the  cause 
of  Christ.  But  he  felt  that  the  continued  prosperity  of  the  Church, 
which  had  now  increased  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  members,  and 
an  entire  renovation  in  the  morals  of  the  place  had  proven  a  rich 
reward  from  God  for  his  exertions,  sacrifices  and  persecutions  at 
Wickford.  While  residing  at  Wickford  he  married  Miss  Lucy  M. 
Spink,  of  that  place. 

"  In  December,  1856,  he  removed  to  Ludlow,  Vt.,  where  for  two 
years  he  was  principal  of  the  Black  River  Academy.  His  connec- 
tion with  this  institution  gained  for  it  a  large  share  of  public  con- 
fidence, and  for  himself  a  deserved  popularity  as  a  teacher.  While 
here  he  labored  in  the  gospel  ministry,  to  which,  by  request  of 
the  church  m  Ludlow,  he  was  ordained  in  No«rember,  1837.  In 
December,  1838,  after  having  for  some  time  supplied  the  Sp'  ''\ 
Baptist  Church  in  Townshend,  and  in  acceptance  of  their  • 
mous  call,  he  became  their  pastor.  To  the  work  of  the  rcu.  -.  .y 
he  now  devoted  all  his  energies;  and  his  faithful,  judicious  and 
affectionate  labors  won  to  him  the  esteem  and  love  of  his  people. 
So  entire  and  universal  was  their  confidence  in  him,  that  no  mem- 
ber of  his  congregation  thought  of  having  the  relations  dissolved 
by  any  other  event  than  his  death.  Under  his  ministry,  God 
blessed  the  church  with  uninterrupted  harmony,  increasing  devo- 
tion to  the  cause,  and  large  accessions  to  their  numbers. 

"  His  disease  —  bronchitis  —  which  terminated  in  pulmonary 
consumption,  first  attacked  him  in  October,  1839.  After  this,  he 
was  fairly  laid  aside  from  public  labors.  His  last  sermon  was 
preached  on  Lord's  day,  March  20,  1843,  from  Rev.  22: 17.  From 
this  time  his  disease  progressed  rapidly;  but  while  his  strength 
wasted,  his  soul  was  sustained  by  that  religion  which  he  had 
preached  to  others.     He  found  it,  as  he  said,  altogether  better

m 


than  he  had  represented  it  His  reliance  on  the  Saviour  seemed 
entire,  and  his  hope  of  Heaven  unspeakably  joyous.  '  The 
thought,'  said  he,  '  that  a  sinful  child  of  earth  should  be  raised 
to  such  a  glorious  Heaven,  is  too  much  for  me  !  It  seems  as 
though  I  should  never  have  capacity  enough  to  praise  God.'  To 
those  inquiring  for  his  condition,  he  would  answer:  'Almost 
home!*  Or  in  the  morning,  ' one  night  nearer  home.'  To  his 
people  he  would  say:  *I  hope  to  meet  you  all  at  the  feet  of 
Jesus.  O,  how  glorious  that  will  be  !  we  shall  all  be  there  soon.' 
To  his  brethren  of  the  ministry  he  spoke  of  his  own  want  of 
faithfulness,  and  said  that  could  they  enter  into  his  feelings,  and 
view  Eternity  as  a  living  reality,  as  it  now  appeared  to  him,  they 
would  be  more  faithful  in  the  discharge  of  duty;  they  would 
preach  more  of  Jesus.  When  asked  how  he  viewed  death,  he  said: 
The  thought  of  dying,  and  the  grave,  scarcely  come  into  my 
mind  —  but  of  the  glorious  world  beyond.*  In  great  distress, 
his  quiet  prayer  was,  '  Jesus,  keep  me  from  murmuring,  for  this 
is  nothing  to  what  Thou  hast  suffered.'  At  the  near  approach  of 
death  his  joy  increased.  His  companion  inquired:  '  Does  the 
passage  seem  bright? — Has  death  lost  its  sting?'  *0,  yes!' 
he  replied,  with  a  smile  that  seemed  lighted  with  the  bliss  of  the 
Heavenly  world.  He  said:  '  Dear  Jesus,  into  Thy  hands  I  com- 
mit my  spirit,'  and  soon  after  fell  asleep.  He  died  June  30, 1843, 
aged  33  years. 

"  Mr.  Upham  was  formed  for  friendship.  Affectionate,  affable, 
and  sincere,  possessing  a  lively  sensibility,  always  regulated  by 
wisdom,  and  tempered  with  meekness  and  love;  with  an  unaffected 
humility  which  ever  made  him  unconscious  of  his  superiority,  he 
was  esteemed  by  all  who  knew  him. 

"  With  a  mind  intensely  active,  with  much  zeal  and  spirituality, 
he  was  always  deliberate,  candid  and  rational;  his  severity  was 
mingled  with  compassion,  and  his  energy  guided  by  prudence. 
He  was  never  boisterous,  exclusive,  or  overbearing. 

"  His  piety  was  uniform  and  consistent.  In  a  measure  which  few 
attain,  he  was  like  his  Divine  Master,  harmless,  undefiled,  and 
separate  from  sinners.  None  questioned  his  sincerity,  or  re- 
proached his  character. 

'His  practice  wrought 
A  living  sermon  of  the  truths  he  taught.' 

"  His  love  for  Christ  and  His  cause  was  fervent.  The  name  of 
Jesus  was  ever  dear  to  him,  and  much  upon  his  tongue.  The  ex- 
ample of  Christ  was  the  rule  of  his  conduct;  and  to  Christ's  like-

ness,  during  his  last  years,  he  rapidly  approximated.  The  desire 
that  others  should  know  Him,  prompted  him  to  untiring  zeal  in 
the  ministry,  and  a  hearty  co-operation  in  all  judicious  measures 
for  the  conversion  of  the  world. 

"As  a  preacher  he  was  impressive  an'1  interesting.  Feeling 
deeply  the  truths  he  uttered,  he  reached  the  hearts  of  his  hearers. 
His  skill  in  delineating  the  various  workings  of  the  human  heart, 
often  made  his  hearers  wonder  at  his  acquaintance  with  their 
characters,  and  frequently  led  them  to  think  him  personal.  He 
would. portray  their  faults,  and  hold  them  up  in  all  their  deformity 
and  exposure  to  the  wrath  ofiGod;  yet  in  so  affectionate  a  man- 
ner, that  while  they  felt  the  reproof,  they  loved  the  reprover  the 
more.  His  preaching  was  eminently  practical,  yet  he  always  ad- 
dressed the  understanding  and  conscience.  He  spoke  of  guilt 
and  pardoning  mercy,  much  more  than  of  danger,  and  of  a  way 
of  escape.  While  he  dwelt  comparatively  little  upon  the  advan- 
tages of  piety,  the  obligations  of  Christians  to  be  Christ-like,  to 
glorify  God,  and  make  sacrifices  for  the  extension  of  the  Gospel, 
was  his  favorite  theme.  Full  of  benevolence  himself,  he  earnestly 
labored  against  every  form  of  selfishness  in  others. 

"  His  death  was  much  lamented  by  the  ministers  and  churches  of 
Vermont,  among  whom  his  piety,  talents  and  wisdom,  had  secured 
him  a  measure  of  esteem  and  confidence  possessed  by  few  at  so 
early  an  age.  May  the  Lord  raise  up  many  among  us  who  shall 
walk  in  his  steps,  as  he  followed  Christ."

He  went  to  sea  at  a  very  early  age  and  had  command  of  a  vessel, 
but  died  when  his  children  were  so  young  that  but  little  memory 
of  him  was  preserved;  his  eldest  daughter  remembered  him  as 
quiet  and  reserved  in  his  habits,  and  of  a  sensitive  and  refined 
nature,  though  nearly  his  whole  life  was  spent  at  sea.  He  was 
in  the  barque  '*  Fredonia,"  and  was  taken  ill  while  on  the  passage 
from  St.  Helena  to  Zanzibar,  Africa ;  at  Zanzibar  he  was  placed

Castine,  Me.;  m.  in  Castine,  Jan.  i,  1839,  Marianne  Brooks,  who 
was  b.  in  Castine,  Jan.  11,  1819,  and  d.  in  Dixon,  Dec.  30,  1870;

Daniel  Sewell,  of  Maine,  who  survived  his  death,  and  died  in 
1892. 

When  a  boy,  he  went  one  voyage  to  sea,  in  the  ship  with  his 
brother,  but  he  did  not  like  a  sea-faring  life.  He  was  first  en- 
gaged in  business  at  Castine,  but  finding  it  unprofitable  with 
the  decline  of  trade  in  that  town,  about  1843-4,  he  moved  to 
Boston  with  his  family,  which  then  consisted  of  a  wife  and  two 
children.  At  Boston  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother-in- 
law,  J.  B.  Brooks,  and  engaged  in  the  West  India  goods  business 
on  Long  Wharf.  Later  he  was  in  the  commission  business  in 
connection  with  a  partner  who  remained  in  St.  John,  N.  B.  On 
the  discovery  of  gold  in  California,  he  became  one  of  a  Boston 
company,  of  ten  members,  which  purchased  the  brig  "  Col.Tayloe," 
loaded  it  with  merchandise  intended  for  the  mining  trade,  and  on 
the  14th  of  February,  1849,  sailed  from  Boston,  via  Cape  Horn, 
for  California.  After  a  voyage  of  more  than  seven  months,  they 
reached  San  Francisco  on  the  21st  of  September,  1849.  He  was 
engaged  in  mercantile  business  in  California  about  eighteen 
months,  with  fair  success,  at  Sacramento,  Colomaand  Georgetown, 
and  then  returned  to  his  family,  which  had  been  living  at  Salem 
during  his  absence.  He  then  purchased  a  place  in  Woburn,  and 
was  for  a  short  time  engaged  in  business  in  Boston,  but  found  it 
not  quite  satisfactory.     In  1853  he  sold  out,  went  West,  and  set-

tied  in  Dixon,  111.,  where  his  brother-in-iaw,  J.  B.  Brooks,  and 
several  others  from  Castine,  who  were  friends  and  relatives  of 
both  himself  and  wife,  had  preceded  him  and  located.  At  Dixon 
he  engaged  in  the  lumber  business,  at  that  time  being  obliged  to 
have  his  entire  stock  brought  in  rafts  down  Rock  river,  as  no  rail- 
road had  yet  reached  Dixon.  He  continued  in  this  business  many 
years,  and  up  to  within  a  few  years  of  his  death,  which  occurred 
at  Dixon,  February  13,  1883,  at  the  age  of  nearly  seventy-three, 
caused  by  an  abscess  of  the  bowels,  from  which  he  had  been  suf- 
fering some  time,  but  had  been  unable  to  determine  the  cause. 
The  doctor  who  attended  him  gave  the  cause  oL  his  death  as 
epididimitis,  or  inflammation  and  perforation  of  the  caecum. 
In  the  earlier  years  at  Dixon  he  was  active  in  the  organization  of 
the  Congregational  church,  of  which  he  was  a  deacon,  but  the 
membership  was  so  small  they  combined  with  the  Presbyterians, 
and  formed  one  church  of  the  latter  denomination  a  few  years 
later;  in  the  Presbyterian  church  he  continued  his  interest  and 
membership  during  the  life-time  of  his  wife,  but  afterward  was 
not  active  in  church  matters.  At  his  death  the  following  obituary 
notice  was  published  by  the  editor  of  the  Dixon  Dat'fy  Telegraph, 
of  February  15,  1883 : 

"  Again  we  are  called  upon  to  record  the  death  of  an  old  resi- 
dent and  highly-respected  and  much-beloved  citizen  of  Dixon. 
S.  K.  Upham  died  at  his  home  in  North  Dixon,  Tuesday  morning, 
after  a  protracted  illness,  extending  over  many  months.  The 
funeral  services  will  take  place  at  the  residence  this  morning  at 
ten  o'clock.  Mr.  Upham  was  born  at  Castine,  Me.,  March  11, 
181 1,  and  became  a  citizen  of  Dixon  about  thirty  years  ago.  He 
was  a  number  of  years  in  the  lumber  trade  here,  a  partner  at  the 
time  of  Mr.  Charles  F.  Emerson,  of  this  city ;  the  firm  name  was 
Upham  &  Emerson  ;  but  he  retired  from  business  some  time 
since.  Last  summer  he  took  a  trip  to  the  South-west  in  hopes  to 
improve  his  failing  health,  but  receiving  no  benefit,  returned  in  a 
few  weeks,  and  was  confined  to  his  house  after  that  time.  S.  K. 
Upham  had  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all  who  knew  him.  He  was 
a  gentleman  of  excellent  literary  taste,  well  educated,  and  possessed 
of  a  mind  cultured  much  above  the  average  business  man.  We 
have  read  several  bright  and  sparkling  productions  from  his  pen, 
and  we  have  often  thought  that  had  it  not  been  for  a  peculiar 
modesty  which  characterized  him,  he  would  have  made  his  mark 
in  the  literary  world.  Genial  and  generous  in  his  nature,  he  was 
a  pleasant  companion,  a  good  neighbor  and  a  valued  citizen.  The 
deceased  leaves  a  widow  and  three  children :  Capt.  Frank  K.

other  engaged  as  a  civil  engineer  for  the  Atchison,  Topeka  and

of  regret  in  many  a  heart,  and  his  good  cheer  will  be  missed  on 
our  streets." 

In  the  Dixon  Daily  Sun,  of  the  14th  of  February,  1883,  also 
appeared  the  following  similar  notice  of  his  death : 

"  After  a  long  and  painful  illness,  Mr.  S.  K.  Upham  died  yes- 
terday morning  of  internal  tumor,  at  the  age  of  72.  He  was  bom 
in.Castine,  Me.,  March  11,  181 1.  He  went  to  California  in  1849, 
and.  after  a  year  and  a  half  spent  there,  returned  to  his  home  in 
the  East.  He  came  with  his  family,  consisting  of  a  wife  and  four 
children,  to  Dixon  in  1853,  and  has  been  actively  engaged  in 
business  up  to  within  the  past  few  years.  Several  years  ago  he 
lost  a  married  daughter,  and  subsequently  his  first  wife.  He 
leaves  a  widow,  two  sons  and  a  daughter.  During  his  long  busi- 
ness career  no  man  in  Dixon  has  made  more  sincere  friends  and 
fewer  enemies.  His  kindness  of  heart  and  sterling  good  qualities 
have  endeared  him  to  the  hearts  of  all  who  came  into  close  rela- 
tion with  him.  The  funeral  services  will  be  conducted  at  the 
family  residence,  in  North  Dixon,  at  ten  o'clock  to-morrow." 

Marianne  Brooks,  the  wife  of  S.  K.  Upham,  was  the  daughter 
of  Barker  and  Margaret  (Perkins)  Brooks,  of  Castine,  and  a  de- 
scendant (in  the  sixth  generation)  of  William  Brooks,  who  came  to 
Scituate,  Mass.,  from  England,  in  1635,  in  the  ship  "  Blessing." 
His  descendants  have  continued  at  Scituate,  Dorchester  and 
South  Boston  until  the  present  time;  the  male  representatives 
through  various  generations  being  mostly  either  sea  captains  or  ship- 
builders. Barker  Brooks,  the  father  of  Marianne,  was  a  ship- 
builder and  owned  the  Brooks  Ship- Yard  at  Castine,  where  some 
fine  ships  were  built  in  former  times.  (The  Brooks  lineage  ap- 
pears in  Munsell's  American  Ancestry,  vol.  HI,  p.  77.)  Margaret 
Perkins,  the  mother  of  Marianne  Brooks,  was  the  daughter  of 
Capt.  Joseph  Perkins,  of  Castine,  a  wealthy  man  and  ship-owner, 
an  account  of  whom,  with  a  record  of  his  family,  is  published  in 
Wheeler's  History  of  Castine.  At  the  death  of  Marianne  Up- 
ham, the  following  obituary  notice  appeared  in  one  of  the  papers 
at  Dixon,  written  by  the  Rev.  E.  C  Sickles,  for  many  years  pas- 
tor of  the  church  of  which  she  was  a  member : 

"  Died  —  Friday,  December  30th,  of  acute  enteritis,  Mrs.  Mari- 
anne Upham,  wife  of  S.  K.  Upham,  Esq.,  aged  nearly  52  years.

"  Mrs.  Upham  was  born  in  Castine,  Me.,  where  she  passed  the 
greater  part  of  her  life  before  her  removal  to  this  place  in  1853. 
For  nearly  eighteen  years,  therefore,  she  has  been  known  among 
us,  winning  by  her  graces  of  character  and  person  a  large  number 
of  loving  friends.  She  was  gifted  by  nature  with  a  strong  mind 
and  a  lovely  disposition,  and  had  attained  a  high  degree  of  cul- 
ture, so  that  her  loss  is  deeply  felt  by  all  who  knew  her.  It  was 
religion,  hovvrever,  that  invested  her  character  with  its  greatest 
charn^.  For  many  years  she  was  a  member  of  the  Congregational 
church  in  her  native  place,  and  latterly  of  the  Presbyterian  church 
here,  and  she  was  more  than  a  consistent  Christian  —  she  was  a 
cheerful,  happy  one,  adorning  her  profession  and  commending,  by 
her  beautiful  life,  religion  to  all. 

"  Her  mind  readily  received  the  truths  of  revelation,  and  her 
heart  fully  rested  in  them.  The  result  was  a  strong  Christian 
character,  peace  and  cheerfulness  constantly.  At  home  she  dif- 
fused happiness.  '  The  heart  of  her  husband  trusted  in  her,  and 
her  children  rise  up  and  call  her  blessed.'  Of  her  numerous 
friends  and  acquaintances,  many  were  in  the  habit  of  resorting  to 
her  for  counsel  and  comfort  in  times  of  perplexity  and  trouble,  so 
reliable  was  her  judgment,  and  so  full  of  sympathy  her  heart. 

"  Some  three  years  since  the  shadow  of  a  great  affliction  rested 
upon  her  and  hers,  in  the  loss  of  a  lovely  daughter,  a  favorite,  too, 
in  the  church  and  community,  but  resultant,  as  all  her  friends 
could  see,  were  the  *  peaceable  fruits  of  righteousness,'  and  a 
rapid  ripening  for  glory. 

"  During  her  short  illness  her  entire  household  were  present. 
The  elder  son,  an  officer  in  the  regular  army,  after  an  absence  of 
more  than  eleven  years  on  the  western  frontier,  had  returned  on 
leave  of  absence  but  a  few  weeks  previous ;  and  a  younger  son, 
absent  for  several  months,  had  come  to  pass  the  holidays.  Cer- 
tainly, it  was  a  remarkable  providence  that,  after  so  long  a  sepa- 
ration, brought  them  together  around  the  sick  and  dying  bed  of 
a  mother,  and  it  was  a  source  of  great  comfort  to  her. 

"  The  nature  of  her  illness  was  such  as  to  produce  much  suffer- 
ing and  extreme  prostration,  but  she  retained  the  use  of  her  fac- 
ulties to  the  end.  She  gathered  the  family  around  her,  and  gave 
to  each  words  of  counsel  and  blessing.  Frequent  were  her  ex- 
pressions of  peace  and  joy  during  the  hours  of  her  waning  strength, 
rendering  her  dying  like  her  life,  calm  and  beautiful.  To  one 
who  asked  if  the  Saviour  were  present,  she  replied:  'Oh,  yes! 
I  have  trusted  him  long,  and  he  is  no  stranger  to  me  now."  To 
another,  who,  when  near  her  end,  remarked :     *  You  are  almost

there,  aren't  you  ? '  she  said :    '  Yes,  and  it  fills  me  with  joy  when 
I  can  fully  realize  it.' 

"  Much  more  she  said  of  like  import,  until,  at  last,  quietly  and 
gently  she  '  fell  on  sleep." 

'  She  is  not  tasting  death,  but  taking  rest 
On  the  same  holy  couch  where  Jesus  lay; 
■f  Soon  to  awalce  all  glorified  and  blest, 

Where  day  is  broke,  and  shadows  fled  away,' 

"Sabbath,  the  first  inst.,  was  the  33d  anniversary  of  her  mar- 
riage. On  that  day,  her  funeral  was  attended  from  the  Presby- 
terian church,  which  was  filled  to  overflowing  with  sincere 
mourners." 

Sylvanus  Kidder  Upham,  and  his  wife,  Marianne  Brooks,  were 
both  buried  in  the  cemetery  at  Dixon,  where  a  single  stone  marks 
their  grave.     They  had  :

Chicago,  on  the  loth  of  Sept.,  1869,  was  city  editor 
of  the  Chicago  Times.  The  members  of  the  Chicago 
press  published  a  pamphlet  "  in  Memoriam  "  at  his 
death.  Mrs..  Wright  has  been  a  contributor  to  cur-

she  passed  a  number  of  years  in  Europe,  and  for  a 
time  represented  the  Art  Amateur,  and  was  a  corre- 
spondent of  other  American  publications.  She  re- 
turned to  America,  and  while  her  son  was  a  student 
at  Harvard  University,  she  was  located  at  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  where  she  was  a  member  of  the  editorial 
staff  of  the  Cambridge  Tribune,  and  supported  her-

was  for  a  time  engaged  as  a  mining  engineer  in 
Colorado.     He  was  with  the  Grand  Junction,  Bell- 
ville  and  North  Hastings  railroad  in  Ontario,  Canada; 
with  the  Atchison,  Topeka  and  Santa  Fe,  and  Mexi- 
can Central  roads;   with  the  Chicago,  Burlington 
and  Quincy;  in  1885  was  appointed  Chief  Engi- 
neer  of   the  Chicago,   Burlington   and   Northern, 
then  in  course  of  construction,  with  its  head-quarters 
at  St.  Paul,  Minn.    After  the  completion  of  the 
latter  he  was  made  Superintendent  of  all  lines  of 
railroad  belonging  to  the  C.  B.  and  Q.  Co.  within 
the  State  of  Illinois,  head-quarters  at .  Galesburg, 
which  position  he  resigned  on  account  of  a  .tem- 
porary loss  of  health.     Later  he  was  engaged  in  con- 
struction of  a  line  of  electric  street  cars  at  Salt  Lake 
City,  Utah,  known  as  the  Rapid  Transit  Company. 
In  the  spring  of  1891  he  became  general  manager  of 
an  electric  street  car  company  at  Lincoln,  Neb.,  in 
which  line  he  is  also  a  stockholder. 
Charles  C.  Upham  is  one  of  those  Who  have  had  the  opportunity 
of  reading  their  own  obituary  notices.     Some  years  ago  while  he 
was  in  the  South-west,  some  of  his  men  were  massacred  by  Indians, 
and  it  was  thought  at  first  he  was  with  the  party;  fortunately  he 
was  temporarily  absent  on  some  business,  and  so  escaped.     The 
following  notice  appeared  in  a  Denver,  Col.,  paper  on  the  occa- 
sion of  the  news  reaching  there.     It  contains  num^ous  inac- 
curacies, which  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  correct,  and  is  given 
just  as  it  appeared: 

"  Butcheries  on  the  Border.  —  Further  Details  of  the 
Murder  of  the  Mexican  Central  Party  of  Engineers. — 
Charles  C  Upham,  a  Well-known  Colorado  Engineer, 
is  Found  among  the  Dead. 

(Special  Dispatch  to  Daily  Republican.) 

"'Santa  Fe,  July  6. 

" '  Further  information  from  El  Paso  is  to  the  effect  that  the  Mexi- 
can Central  surveyors,  killed  forty  miles  south  of  El  Paso,  were 
Engineer  C.  C.  Upham  and  his  men.  The  bodies  were  found  by 
Colonel  J.  F.  Bennett,  of  Silver  City,  and  some  Denver  men,  who 
were  going  south  to  look  at  property  in  Chihuahua,  preparatory 
to  purchasing.  They  report  that  three  bodies  were  burned,  so  as 
to  be  beyond  recognition,  but  others  could  have  been  recognized

by  parties  knowing  the  men.  It  is  supposed  that  Upham  was  one 
of  the  men  burned.  This  party  of  surveyors  numbered  thirteen 
with  himself.  They  were  near  Candelaria  mountains.  The  bodies 
are  now  en  route  to  El  Paso  to  be  identified  and  buried.' 

"  Mr.  Charles  C.  Upham,  one  of  the  victims  of  the  horrible  trag- 
edy, was  well  known  throughout  the  State.  He  was  born  in 
Maine,  but  in  later  years  resided  with  his  parents  in  Dixon,  111., 
where  his  father  retired  as  one  of  the  most  successful  lumber 
merchants  in  that  section.  After  graduating  at  the  Troy  (N.  Y.) 
Polytechnic  Institute  and  serving  an  engineering  apprenticeship 
on  the  Illinois  river,  he  came  to  Colorado  in  1875,  locating  at  Del 
Norte.  There  he  was  afterward  elected  county  surveyor  of  Rio 
Grande  county.  In  1878,  he  abandoned  a  lucrative  business  to 
join  the  Atchison,  Topeka  and  Santa  Fe  engineering  party,  then 
at  work  in  the  Royal  Gorge.  As  locating  engineer  he  remained 
with  the  company  until  the  line  was  completed  to  Leadville. 

"  Locating  in  the  latter  place,  he  did  private  work,  meeting  with 
the  best  of  success  in  a  business  sense,  but  becoming  fascinated 
with  the  prospects  of  a  journey  through  New  Mexico  he  accepted 
a  position  with  the  Santa  Fe  party  moving  south,  in  the  spring  of 
1879.  He  became  distinguished  as  a  locating  engineer,  in  this 
line  his  abilities  being  such  as  to  give  him  a  reputation  that  would 
have  followed  him  for  years  had  he  lived.  A  few  months  ago, 
after  the  completion  of  the  main  line  to  Deming,  he  was  offered 
the  position  of  Chief  Engineer  on  the  Mexican  Central,  but  being 
engaged  at  the  time  in  settling  a  business  proposition  with  Denver 
parties,  which  if  successful  would  have  occasioned  his  return  and 
permanent  residence  in  the  State,  he  requested  that  the  offer  be 
allowed  to  remain  open  until  he  could  give  a  final  answer.  The 
company  acquiesced  in  this.  He  came  to  Denver  some  four  or 
five  weeks  since;  hoping  to  complete  the  negotiations  that  were 
pending.  The  trip  did  not  result  as  expected,  and  he  returned  to 
await  developments,  with  the  sad  and  untimely  result  chronicled. 

"  Mr.  Upham  was  29  years  of  age,  a  young  man  of  manly  phy- 
sique and  most  prepossessing  appearance.  He  was  of  a  very  kindly 
disposition,  courteous  and  gentlemanly,  and  beloved  by  everybody 
with  whom  he  came  in  contact,  either  in  the  business  or  social 
circle.  Possessed  of  none  but  the  noblest  impulses,  he  was  never 
known  to  do  a  single  wrong  during  his  long  sojourn  in  the  State, 
and  leaves  behind  a  memory  among  his  old  associates  —  especially 
those  of  his  earlier  days  in  the  San  Juan  —  that  will  live,  and  liv- 
ing, thrive  and  gain  strength  with  each  succeeding  year.  A  count- 
less host  will  mourn  his  death.

1875,  at  which  place  she  was  buried.  Her  father  d.  when  she 
was  very  small ;  her  mother's  maiden  name  was  Sarah  Ingalls. 
She  was  known  before  marriage  as  Sarah  Ann  Page  Fisher,  for 
the  reason  that  her  step-father's  name  was  Fisher,  and  she  took 
that  name. 

Elbridge  G.  Upham  learned  the  trade  of  a  ship  carpenter,  and 
at  an  early  age  went  to  sea  from  Boston,  in  the  capacity  of  ship's 
carpenter;  he  became  mate,  and  finally  master  of  a  vessel.  He 
was  then  for  five  years  in  the  whaling  business,  making  two  voy- 
ages, one  of  two  and  the  other  of  three  years.  In  1849  he  went 
West,  and  settled  at  Waukegan,  to  which  place  his  wife  followed 
him  the  next  year.  At  Waukegan  he  entered  the  carriage  manu- 
facturing business,  in  which  he  was  successfully  engaged  for  many 
years.  He  was  a  member  of  the  firms  of  Swarthout  &  Upham, 
Hallowell  &  Upham,  Upham  &  Ilallowell,  Upham  &  Sowles  and 
Upham  &  Crabtree.  In  the  last-named  firm  he  continued  until 
about  one  year  prior  to  his  death,  at  which  time  he  sold  his  inter- 
est in  the  carriage  manufactory,  and  retired  from  business.    In

istic  modesty  e  has  kept  himself  out  of  sight,  he  has  done  his 
work  with  remarkable  ability,  and  has  given  to  the  paper  variety 
and  vivacity,  while  at  the  same  time  keeping  steadily  m  view  (in 
the  language  of  his  own  farewell),  'revivals;  missions,  foreign, 
home  and  domestic ;  ministerial  educations,  temperance  and 
peace.'  "  As  already  stated  in  the  introductory  pages,  Dr.  Upham 
has  been  largely  instrumental  in  the  preparation  of  this  book. 

The  following  lines  were  clipped  from  a  recent  number  of  the 
Watchman,  and  are  from  the  pen  of  Dr.  Upham: 

FEW— MANY.  .     •     \ 

(Matt.  35:31.) 
Few  are  the  duties  given, 
Fewer  the  duties  done; 
Yet  vast  the  compensation 
From  these  few  duties  won . 

Few  are  the  days  we  spend  here, 

As  servants  of  our  Lord ; 
Yet  crowns  and  thrones  await  us, — 

Oh,  marvelous  reward! 

Many  the  rolling  ages 

Beneath  the  Saviour's  smile. 
Ages  on  ages  endless. 

Outpouring  joy  the  while. 

Ob,  to  be  faithful  ever. 

In  deed  and  heart  and  mind  I 
Oh,  to  be  faithless  never,  .    " 

Whate'er  the  taslc  assigned! 

Large  hearted  is  our  Master; 

Our  duties  few  and  light; 
But  oh!  the  blessed  prospect 
He  holds  before  our  sight. 
Chblsea,  March  39,  1889.

Mass.,  in  i89r       He  had  by  wife  Cynthia  Jane  Bailey:

Cherokee  Nation,  and  later  of  Massachusetts,  b.  Oct.  15,  i8t9, 
in  Salem,  Mass.;  m.  May  32,  1843,  Eliza  Oakham  Newhall, 
who  was  b.  in  Saugus,  Mass.,  Jan.  22,  1820,  and  d.  in  Coffeyville, 
Kan.,  March  26,  1884  (at  the  home  of  one  of  her  children). 
He  received  his  education  at  the  Salem  High  School,  the  Latin 
Grammar  School  and  the  Dennison  University,  at  Granville,  Ohio; 
but  owing  to  the  effects  of  protracted  study  he  did  not  graduate  — 
his  health  failing.  After  teaching  several  years  in  the  West  and 
in  New  England,  he  went,  in  1843,  as  a  missionary  among  the 
Cherokees  —  the  most  advanced  of  all  the  Indian  tribes  in  Chris- 
tianity and  civilization.  He  was  married  on  the  same  evening 
that  he  was  publicly  set  apart  for  this  work,  and  with  his  young 
wife,  he  arrived  at  the  scene  of  his  future  labors  on  the  34th  of 
June,  1843. 

Soon  after  his  arrival  he  took  charge  of  the  National  High 
School,  which  he  retained  through  his  missionary  life,  a  period  of 
eighteen  years.  To  this  he  added  biblical  instruction  of  the  native 
preachers,  and  preaching  on  the  Sabbath.  His  entire  work  he 
prosecuted  with  enthusiasm  and  success,  until  t^e  beginning  of 
the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  in  1861,  which  broke  up  the  mission  for 
years.  Owing  to  his  known  anti-slavery  sentiments,  the  **  border 
ruffians  "  had  a  plot  to  assassinate  him,  but  this  plot  was  divulged 
to  him  by  a  friendly  Indian,  and  on  the  ist  of  July,  1861,  he  made 
a  timely  escape  to  Kansas,  where  he  purchased  a  farm  and  placed 
his  family  upon  it.  But  soon  after  he  was  settled  as  pastor  of  the 
Baptist  Church  in  Lawrence,  Kan.  He  was  in  Lawrence  during 
the  Quantrell  raid,  on  the  21st  of  Aug.,  1863,  on  which  occasion 
four  hundred  and  fifty  raiders,  after  having  first  cut  off  all  means

of  escape  from  the  city,  shot  down  in  irly  two  hundred  citizens, 
and  burned  most  of  the  huildinas,  anumlu-r  of  persons  being  con- 
sumed in  the  flames.  It  was  said  that  Mr.  Uphwn's  unusual  cool- 
ness, courage  and  personal  management  succeeded  in  diverting 
the  raiders  from  their  purpose  to  burn  his  dwelling,  and  shoot 
him,  though  one  shot  was  Ared  at  him.  His  house  was  left  like 
an  island  in  an  ocean  of  (lame. 

His  church  was  burned,  and  his  congregation  killed,  ruined  or 
scattered,  but  he  continued  to  struggle  with  .ind  for  them  for  more 
than  a  year  longer,  after  which  he  returned  to  Massachusetts.  He 
was  there  settled  successively  .ts  pastor  at  Ayer  Junction,  West 
Townsend  and  Framingham.  In  Sept.,  1.H76,  lie  resigned  his  four 
years  pastorate  at  Framingham,  owing  lo  an  alfection  of  the  heart. 
He  died  at  ColTeyville,  Kan.,  while  on  a  visit  to  his  eldest  son, 
May  27,  1877.  On  the  morning  of  his  death  he  was  about  to 
preach,  but  suddenly  ceased  to  breathe.  His  remains  are  buried 
with  those  of  his  wife  at  Coffeyville. 

His  brother  James  said  of  him:  "He  proved  himself  as  effi- 
cient a  pastor  in  New  FiUgland,  as  he  had  been  a  missionary  among 
the  Cherokees.  He  w.as  a  man  of  excellent  mind,  devoted  to  his 
work,  a  genial  companion  and  a  most  intelligent,  ready  and  inter- 
esting conversationalist.  Of  all  the  children,  he  physically  most 
resembled  his  father.  His  wife  was  a  woman  of  rare  worth,

tion,  which  was  made  at  the  last  annual  meeting. 
Mrs,  Drake  was  liorn  an.ong  the  Cherokees,  in  In- 
dian Territory,  her  father,  Rev.  W.  P.  Upham,  hav- 
ing resided  there  for  eighteen  years  as  missionary. 
When  slie  was  thirteen  years  of  age  she  was  sent  to 
New  England  to  be  edtuated.  As  her  childhood's 
memories  must  be  full  of  the  voices  of  the  sons  of 
the  forest,  wc  trust  that  now  she  will  lend  the  influ- 
ence of  her  logical  mind  and  silver-tongued  words 
to  the  cause.  Mrs.  Drake  understands  the  *art  of 
putting  things; '  she  has,  by  inheritance  and  acquisi- 
tion, a  moral  and  intellectual  acumen,  which  has 
enabled  her  to  grasp  the  question  of  the  hour.  Great 
success  has  attended  the  intellectual  course  of  lec- 
tures to  women,  which  she  first  gave  for  the  Boston 
Young  Women's  Christian  Association  early  in  the 
winter ;  this  has  been  repeated  in  Medford,  West 
Medford,  Charlestown,  Maiden,  Everett,  Chelsea, 
and  next  week  it  will  be  commenced  in  East  Som- 
erville,  and  early  in  May  in  Lynn.  The  tickets 
have  been  sold  at  $1.00  for  the  course,  and  the  so- 
cieties have  added  scores  of  dollars  to  their  treas- 
uries. In  a  private  letter  from  a  lady  in  Maiden  to 
a  friend  in  Charlestown,  the  writer  says:  *I  cannot 
overestimate  the  value  of  these  lectures.  I  felt  that 
the  first  lecture  fully  paid  for  the  price  of  the  course. 
The  enthusiasm  of  Mrs.  Drake  makes  the  ladies 
realir.e  the  importance  of  these  subjects,  as  they  could 
not  from  reading  them.'  The  subjects  of  these  lec- 
tures are,  '  Heredity,'  '  Physical  Culture,'  '  Moral 
Culture,'  '  Spiritual  Culture,'  '  Social  Purity.'  Mrs. 
Drake  has  long  been  favorably  known  through  her 
poems  and  stories,  and  her  eloquent  and  intelligent 
advocacy  of  temperance.  Nov  we  may  trust  that  she 
will  join  in  the  work  for  the  Indian  here  in  Newton, 
where  such  work  is  as  old  as  the  days  of  EHott  and 
Waban,  and  where  it  is  said  a  white  man  and  an  Indian 
never  lifted  a  deadly  weapon  against  each  other."

"  To-day  it  is  our  sad  duty  to  chronicle  the  death 
of  the  senior  physician  of  this  city.  Dr.  George  B. 
Upham,  of  io8  Warburton  avenue,  died  this  morn- 
ing, about  3  o'clock,  of  heart  failure,  in  the  66th 
year  of  his  age.  He  was  the  foti.ti.  physician,  in 
point  of  settlement,  to  practice  i' .  profession  in 
Yonkers.  His  predecessors  were  the  brothers,  Drs. 
Amos  W.  and  Horatio  S.  Gates,  and  Dr.  Levi  W. 
Flagg,  all  deceased.  For  a  rhort  time  Dr.  Upham 
was  associated  with  the  elder  Dr.  Gates,  but  he  soon 
began  an  independent  practice. 

Dr.  Upham  was  born  in  New  York  city,  March 
29,  1824.  His  boyhood  was  passed  in  Brunswick, 
Me.     He  received  his  education  under  the  super-

vision  of  Prof.  T.  C.  Upham,  of  Bowuoin  College. 
After  the  usual  preparatory  course,  he  matriculated, 
and  graduated  in  1846.  He  then  entered  the  medi- 
cal department  of  Dartmouth  College,  having  begun 
at  Bowdoin  the  study  of  medicine,  and  was  under 
the  teaching  of  the  famous  professor,  E.  R.  Peaslee, 
who  was  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  Dartmouth. 

"  Dr.  Upham  returned  to  New  York  city  in  1848, 
and  continued  the  study  of  medicine  and  surgery 
under  the  celebrated  Dr.  Valentine  Mott.  Then  he 
completed  his  studies  at  the  Bowdoin  Medical  Col- 
lege, graduating  in  1850.  He  married  Miss  Sarah 
B.  Richardson,  of  Bath,  Me.,  in  that  year,  and 
began  the  practice  of  his  profession  at  Brunswick, 
where  he  continued  nearly  three  years.  In  June, 
1833,  he  carne  to  Yonkers  and  resided  for  a  year  at 
323  Warburton  avenue.  Then  he  removed  to  108 
on  the  same  avenue,  which  beautiful  place  has  been 
the  family  residence  ever  since. 

"  During  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  Dr.  Upham 
was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Enrollment  for  the 
Ninth  Congressional  District,  embracing  West- 
chester, Putnam  and  Rockland  counties,  and  was 
an  examining  surgeon  for  drafted  men.  The  Board 
was  stationed  at  Tarrytown  for  three  years,  and  he 
was  on  duty  there  daily  during  the  whole  period. 
When  the  war  was  over,  he  was  further  appointed 
by  the  government  an  examining  surgeon  for  pen- 
sioners, in  which  capacity  he  served  for  six  years. 

"Dr.  Upham  was  also  for  many  years  on  the 
Medical  Board  of  St.  John's  Riverside  Hospital. 
He  was  Republican  in  politics.  As  a  physician  he 
stood  with  the  foremost,  both  as  to  professional  skill 
and  as  to  fidelity  in  his  work.  He  was  widely  and 
favorably  known  —  his  extensive  range  of  study, 
under  eminent  professors  and  professic  .lal  men, 
giving  him  a  reputation  well  supported  by  his  learn- 
ing, ability  and  courtesy. 

As  a  man  he  was  a  thorough  gentleman  —  kind, 
tender,  pleasant.  To  the  suffering  he  was  a  com- 
forter, always  imparting  courage  and  hope  to  the 
sick.  He  was  connected  with  the  famous  Delta- 
Kappa-Epsilon  Society.

"  It  can  hardly  be  said  that  his  demise  was  unex- 
pected. He  had  not  been  well  for  many  months, 
but  occasionally  he  felt  strong  and  in  good  spirits. 
On  Wednesday  of  last  week  he  was  seen  about  the 
city ;  he  looked  well,  and  acted  as  if  in  good  health. 
Thursday  he  was  stricken  with  the  disease  that  had 
troubled  him,  and  after  lingering  for  seven  days  he 
passed  from  earth.  A  widow,  two  daughters  and  a 
son  survive  him. 

"The  funeral  services  over  the  remains  of  Dr. 
Upham  were  held  at  the  residence  on  Warburton 
avenue,  on  Sunday  afternoon.  Rev.  W.  W.  Rand 
officiated.  After  reading  appropriate  passages  of 
the  Bible,  a  hymn  was  sunp  which  was  followed  by 
a  brief  discourse  from  the  text  in  Samuel  I,  xx:3, 
where  David  says  to  Jonathan:  'There  is  but  a 
step  between  me  and  death.'  After  singing  an- 
other hymn,  Rev.  J.  Hendrik  de  Vries  offered 
prayer. 

"  There  were  a  large  number  of  friends  present, 
whc  were  permitted  to  take  a  last  look  at  the  de- 
ceased through  the  glass  as  he  lay  in  a  black  cloth 
casket.  The  remains  were  interred  in  the  family 
plot  in  St.  John's  Cemetery." 
Dr.  George  Barnard  Upham  and  wife  had:

College,  N.  Y.;  then  went  to  (Paris  and  con- 
tinued his  medical  studies.  He  returned  to

at  Bellevue  Hospital.  In  1879  he  was  prac- 
ticing medicine  at  Yonkers.

N.  H.,  b.  Jan.  8,  1801,  in  Deerfield,  N.  H. ;  m.  Betsey  W.  Lord, 
dan.  of  Nathaniel,  of  Kennebunkport,  Me.,  who  d.  in  Concord, 
Aug.  17,  1833,  ae.  23  years;  m.  (2)  Sept.  9,  1834,  Eliza  W.  Burn- 
ham,  dau.  of  Rev.  Abraham  Burnham,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  Con- 
gregational Church  at  Pembroke,  N.  H.,  for  more  than  40  years, 
—  and  who  survived  his  death.  She  was  b.  Feb.  21,  1813,  and  d. 
April  14, 1882.  Nathaniel  G.  Upham  was  graduated  at  Dartmouth 
College,  1820,  and  immediately  began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office 
of  Hon.  David  Barker,  Jr.,  of  Rochester,  N.  H.  Having  com- 
pleted his  studies,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  began  the 
practice  of  his  profession  in  Bristol,  N.  H.,  remaining  there  until 
1829,  when  he  removed  to  Concord.  He  continued  in  the  prac- 
tice of  law  at  Concord  until  1833,  when  he  was  appointed  one  of 
the  associate  justices  of  the  Superior  Court  of  New  Hampshire, 
at  the  age  of  32.  He  continued  in  the  latter  position  for  lo  years, 
until  1843,  when  he  resigned  his  seat  on  the  bench,  and  became 
superintendent  of  the  Concord  railroad;  and  of  which  road  he 
was  later  made  president.  It  has  been  said  that  the  success  of 
this  railroad  may  be  justly  ascribed  in  no  small  degree  to  his  wis- 
dom and  energy.  He  held  the  <  ■''-  *\\l  1866,  when  his  connec- 
tion with  the  road  ceased.  ..  ,.  ;  1853,  while  still  connected 
with  the  Concord  railroad,  judge  opham  was  appointed  as  one  of 
a  commission  to  act  upon  various  claims  which  had  from  tline  to 
time,  for  nearly  forty  years,  been  made  by  the  citizeLs  o;  the 
United  States  upon  the  government  of  Great  Britain,  and  by  the 
subjects  of  Great  Britain  upon  the  government  of  the  United 
States.  These  difficulties  had  for  some  time  been  the  cause  of 
unpleasant  feelings  between  the  two  countries.  One  commissioner 
was  to  be  appointed  by  each  government,  and  the  two  were  to  name 
a  third  person  to  act  as  umpire  in  cases  where  the  commissioners 
might  differ  in  opinion.  Judge  Upham  was  appointed  on  the 
part  of  the  United  States,  and  Henry  Hornby,  Esq.,  on  the  part 
of  Great  Britain.  Their  decision  was  to  be  regarded  as  final,  and 
in  accordance  with  it,  all  the  claims  between  the  two  countries 
were  to  be  adjusted. 

A  writer  in  a  leat  ag  journal,  in  speaking  of  the  selection  of 
Judge  Upham  for  this  duty,  at  the  time  said:  "The  numerous 
friends  of  Judge  Upham  will  be  gratilied  with  the  high  mark  of 
distinction  conferred  upon  him.  The  office  to  which  he  is  ap- 
pointed is  one  of  scarcely  less  importance  than  that  of  a  minister 
to  a  first-class  power.     Its  duties  require  talent  of  no  ordinary

character  for  their  correct  and  proper  discharge.  Judge  Upham 
possesses  all  the  requisites  for  an  efficient  discharge  of  the  duties 
which  this  appointment  devolves  upon  him,  and  will  faithfully 
represent  the  interests  of  his  countrymen  in  all  the  conflicting 
claims  which  may  come  up  between  the  two  governments,  and 
their  citizens  and  subjects.  In  addition  to  practical  good  sense 
and  correct  business  habits,  he  is  a  sound  lawyer  and  a  scholar  of 
superior  endowments." 

The  commission  met  in  London,  in  September,  1853.  Within 
the  allotted  time  they  had  acted  on  all  the  claims  that  were  pre- 
sented, amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  many  millions  of  dollars, 
and  pronounced  upon  each  a  deliberate  and  final  judgment.  In 
accordance  with  the  decisions  thus  rendered,  the  claims  were  paid 
by  the  respective  governments,  and  the  irritation  which  had  been 
growing  satisfactorily  settled. 

Mr.  Buchanan,  then  minister  to  England,  in  a  letter  to  the 
secretary  of  state,  at  the  close  of  the  commission,  said:  "  It  would 
scarcely  be  possible  lor  any  individuals  to  have  disci'arged  those 
duties  in  a  more  satisfactory  manner.  The  business  of  the  com- 
mission was  conducted  by  Judge  Upham  and  Gen.  Thomas,  in 
their  several  spheres  of  action,  with  much  ability  as  well  as  in- 
defatigable industry  and  perseverance;  and  the  result  of  their 
labors  has  proved  to  be  quite  as  favorable  to  our  country  as  could 
have  been  reasonably  anticipated.  The  action  of  this  commission 
will  be  a  great  relief  to  the  two  governments.  All  the  claims  of  the 
citizens  and  subjects  of  each  on  the  government  of  the  other, 
which  have  been  accumulating  since  the  date  of  the  treaty  of 
Ghent,  Dec.  24,  18 14,  and  had  given  rise  to  so  much  diplomatic 
correspondence,  have  happily  now  been  decided,  and  can  no  longer 
become  subjects  of  discussion." 

The  success  of  this  commission  probably  led  to  the  selection  of 
Judge  Upham  for  another  service  of  a  similar  nature.  In  1862,  in 
a  commission  appointed  by  the  United  States  and  New  Grenada 
for  the  settlement  of  claims  between  the  two  countries,  he  was 
chosen  as  umpire.  At  the  time  of  his  death  his  name  was  promi- 
nent for  the  office  of  arbiter  in  a  mixed  commission  between  the 
United  States  and  Mexico.  He  was  a  strong  advocate  of  friendly 
arbitration  as  a  means  of  settling  in  ernational  difficulties,  and 
thought  that  much  could  be  accomplished  in  this  way  to  avoid 
the  evils  of  war. 

In  politics  Judge  Upham  belonged  to  the  school  of  Jefferson; 
but  he  was  never  active  as  a  politician,  and  in  but  a  few  instances 
did  he  hold  any  political  office  in  the  State.     He  was  a  member  of

the  convention  called  in  1850,  to  amend  the  Constitution  of  New 
Hampshire.  In  1865  and  1866  he  was  a  member  of  the  State 
Legislature,  in  which  he  was  a  strong  advocate  for  the  proposed 
amendments  of  the  national  Constitution. 

When  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  came  he  at  once  took  an  open 
and  decided  stand  on  the  side  of  the  government,  and  for  the 
Union.  His  addresses  delivered  on  public  occasions,  his  letters 
and  essays  published  in  leading  newspapers  and  in  pamphlet  form, 
and  distributed  through  the  country,  were  said  to  have  exerted 
a  great  influence  in  the  cause  of  the  Union.  His  address  on 
"  Rebellion,  Slavery  and  Peace,"  delivered  in  Concord,  was  after- 
ward published  by  the  Loyal  League  Publishing  Society,  in  New 
York,  and  had  a  wide  circulation  in  all  the  loyal  States.  He  ex- 
pressed his  opinion  in  regard  to  the  continued  existence  of  slavery 
in  the  following  words:  "  There  can  be  no  reasonable  assurance 
of  a  permanent  peace  while  slavery  exists."  He  held  thf.t,  "if 
any  one  should  doubt  whether  slavery  was  necessarily  the  death 
of  the  Union,  still  if  he  believed  its  existence  would  meriously  en- 
danger and  imperil  it,  that  danger  should  insure  its  overthrow." 

During  the  war  he  addressed  a  letter  to  Hon.  Oilman  Marston, 
then  in  Congress  from  New  Hampshire,  entitled  "  The  Present 
Crisis,"  in  which  he  discussed  the  principles  involved  in  the  con- 
troversy between  the  North  and  the  South.  Th;,s  was  received 
with  great  favor  by  all  friends  of  the  Union,  and  v^as  published  in 
full  in  many  of  the  leading  loyal  papers. 

Judge  Upham  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Concord 
Society  of  Natural  History.  He  became  a  member  of  the  New 
Hampshire  Historical  Society  in  1833,  and  continued  his  member- 
ship until  his  death,  being  three  years  president  of  the  society.  In 
1862,  Dartmouth  College  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Laws.  In  1837  he  became  a  member  of  the  Congre- 
gational church,  and  continued  his  church  membership  through 
life.  He  was  especially  interested  for  many  years  in  the  efforts 
which  were  made  toward  African  colonization,  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death  was  president  of  the  New  Hampshire  Colonization  So- 
ciety. 

He  died  at  Concord,  Saturday,  December  11,  1869,  ae.  68.  His 
memoir,  from  which  the  foregoing  has  been  mainly  taken,  was 
written  by  Prof.  Daniel  J.  Noyes,  D.  D.,  of  Dartmouth  College, 
and  read  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  New  Hampshire  Historical 
Society,  June  14,  1871.  It  was  afterward  published  in  a  volume 
of  fifty-eight  pages,  giving  a  full  and  complete  account  of  his  life, 
his  work  and  his  character.

After  a  brief  period  spent  in  the  study  of  law,  he  en- 
tered the  U.  S.  navy  as  third  asst.  engineer,  Nov.

Academy  at  Annapolis,  Maryland.  He  then  went  to 
China  on  the  flag-ship  "  Hartford,"  remaining  on  that 
station  about  one  year  and  a  half,  when  he  was  sent 
home  on  sick  leave.  In  1875  he  was  placed  on  the 
retired  list  of  the  navy  on  account  of  heart  disease, 
having  at  that  time  the  rank  of  passed  assistant  en- 
gineer. He  never  recovered  his  health,  and  died  of 
heart  disease  and  consolidation  of  the  lungs,  at 
Portsmouth,  Aug.  13,  1889.  He  was  a  man  singu- 
larly unpretentious  in  character,  but  with  a  mind 
well  stored  with  useful  knowledge,  particularly  on 
scientific  matters,  the  subject  of  chemistry  being  one 
on  which  he  was  especially  well  versed.  He  was 
given  to  scientific  speculation,  and  modestly  ex- 
pressed many  clear  and  original  thoughts  on  such 
subjects  that  would  have  added  interest  to  the  lead- 
ing publications  of  the  day.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  DeWitt  Clinton  Commandery,  K.  T.,  and  of 
the  Order  of  Cincinnati. 
The  Portsmouth  Times  of  Aug.  14,  1889,  published  the  fol- 
lowing obituary  notice  on  the  day  after  his  death : 

JOSEPH  B.  UPHAM  DEAD. 
Sketch  of  the  Life  of  a  Well-Known  Citizen. 

It  has  pleased  Divine  Providence  to  again  enter  the  home  of 
one  of  our  most  esteemed  families  and  remove  therefrom  a  well- 
beloved  son  and  friend,  one  who  during  his  life  residence  in  Ports- 
mouth has  endeared  himself  to  us  by  his  many  good  qualities  of 
mind  and  of  heart. 

In  the  demise  of  Passed  Assistant  Engineer  Joseph  B.  Upham, 
U.  S.  N.  (retired),  which  took  place  on  Tuesday  evening  at  10 
o'clock  at  his  late  residence  on  Middle  street,  companions  and 
fr;.»n(js  are  called  to  drop  tears  sacred  to  hallowed  memories  of 
the  dr^^arted.  Modest  and  unassuming  as  he  was  in  demeanor,  he 
was  yet  resolute  in  the  right;  a  man  of  broad  character,  generous 
impulse  and  warm  heart,  frank  and  affable  in  speech,  and  genial 
and  sunny  in  temperament;  indeed,  those  most  intimately  ac- 
quainted found  a  filial  and  trusting  heart  and  an  ever  obedient 
and  consecrated  life,  one  singularly  gifted  with  elements  that  are 
good  in  human  kind.  Yea,  it  can  be  truly  said  of  him  that  he  had

moted  to  second  assistant  engineer  on  March  15,  1864 ;  became 
first  assistant  engineer  on  Jan.  i,  1868,  and  passed  assistant  en- 
gineer on  Feb.  24,  1874.  Soon  after  one  of  his  late  promotions, 
Mr.  Upham  was  stricken  with  heart  trouble  which  developed  so 
rapidly  that  he  was  ordered  before  a  medical  examining  board, 
the  result  of  which  placed  him  on  the  retired  list  as  a  passed  as- 
sistant engineer  from  Dec.  27,  1875,  after  a  total  sea  service  of 
seven  years  and  five  months.  His  enforced  retirement  was  a 
source  of  keen  regret  to  him,  and  many  a  time  and  oft  the  writer 
has  heard  him  lament  the  physical  necessity  which  compelled  his 
release  from  active  official  duties. 

He  was  a  conspicuous  member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity  and  of 
De  Witt  Clinton  Commandery,  Knights  Templar,  of  this  city,  in 
which  noble  branch  he  was  profoundly  interested  and  wherein  he 
had  held  several  official  positions. 

The  sufferings  of  Passed  Assistant  Engineer  Upham  during  the 
past  few  months  were  at  times  intense,  ytt  he  bore  them  with  un- 
usual fortitude  and  with  meek  and  humble  submission  to  the 
higher  power.  He  gave  to  God  a  filial  and  trusting  heart,  and  re- 
ferred to  death  without  fear. 

The  heavily  bereaved  and  universally  esteemed  mother,  who 
within  a  few  brief  months  has  been  called  to  part  with  her  husband, 
and  now  her  son,  has  the  most  gracious  sympathy  of  this  com- 
munity in  her  desolation.  'Tis  some  consolation  in  the  darkest 
hour  to  have  faith  to  believe  that  "All's  well  with  them; "  that 

"  Themselves  will  fade, 
But  not  their  memory. 
And  memory  has  power 
To  re-create  them  from  the  dust."

b.  in  Brookfield,  i'uesday,  Oct.  30,  1818;  m.  June  33,  1847,  at 
Brimfield,  Catherine  Prouty.  She  was  b.  May,  1838.  He  d.  at 
Brookfield,  Dec.  33,  1891.  The  following  obituary  notice  was  pub- 
lished in  till  Worcester  Spy  of  Dec,  3^,  r«  »• 

"  Laurens  Upham  died  at  his  resid  ..  c,  coiner  Riv  '  and  Lin- 
coln streets,  Brookfield,  Tuesday  night,  at  13  o'clock,  of  pneu- 
monia, at  the  age  of  73.  Mr.  Upham  was  born  in  Brookfield, 
and  was  descended  from  an  ancient  family,  who  for  four  genera- 
tions i)r'iceding  him  had  lived  in  this  town,  and  the  old  homest.ad 
in  Po  >  paug  still  belongs  to  his  estate.  Receiving  an  education 
at  Lei  :ester  Academy,  he  early  in  life  chose  the  calling  of  a  school 
te  icher,  and  followed  it  successfully  in  the  towns  of  Leicester, 
Spencer,  Paxton,  Brimfield,  and  in  Barnstable  county,  until  a 
partial  loss  of  hearing  compelled  him  to  forego  his  honorable  pur- 
suit. A  man  of  firm  principle,  strictly  temperate  in  his  life, 
believing  in  his  fellow  men,  '  he  spoke  no  word  of  slander;  no, 
nor  listened  to  it.'  Careful  of  this  world's  goods,  he  acquired  a 
competency,  and  has  left  a  name  tha^  commands  the  respect  of 
the  community  in  which  he  lived.  The  Spy  was  a  weekly  visitor 
to  his  household,  and  has  been  to  his  family  since  its  early  publi- 
cation. He  was  married  in  1847  to  Miss  Catherine  Prouty  of 
Brimfield,  who  survives  him.  He  also  leaves  a  brother,  Nathan 
Upham,  the  well-known  school  teacher,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  and 
four  children:  Henry,  who  lives  in  Mayfield,  Cal.;  Mrs.  M.  L. 
Miner,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.;  Nathan,  of  Waterbury,  Conn.,  and 
George,  who  at  present  is  living  at  liome.  The  funeral  will  be

resided  in  Boston.     His  wife  was  Sarah  Deming. 

Greorge  P.  Upham  was  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  the

firm.  This  house  is  one  of  the  few  that  has  passed  successfully 
through  the  various  commercial  crises  of  the  past  forty  years. 
George  P.  Upham  and  wife  Sarah  had: 

I  George  Phineas,  Jr.,  b.  Nov.  29, 1859,  in  Boston.  He 
was  graduated  at  Harvard  University,  in  the  class 
of  1881,  and  in  1886  became  a  member  of  the  firm 
of  Dana,  Tucker  &  Co.,  Boston.  He  d.,  unm., 
Sunday,  Sept.  6,  1891,  after  an  illness  of  several 
years.  His  funeral  took  place  on  Thursday,  Sept. 
10,  at  Emanuel  Church,  Boston,  the  remains  being 
taken  to  Mount  Auburn  for  interment.  The  follow- 
ing obituary  notice  was  published  in  the  Boston 
Daily  Advertiser: 

"  The  death  of  this  promising  young  man  is  not 
only  a  grief  to  his  friends  but  also  a  matter  of  regret 
for  the  community  in  which  he  lived.  He  was  of 
the  best  type  of  the  young  men  who,  born  in  inde- 
pendent circumstances,  without  the  necessity  of 
exertion,  choose  to  take  their  share  of  the  burdens 
of  the  world  and  to  qualify  themselves  to  worthily 
carry  forward  those  labors  which  the  present  gen- 
eration must  soon  relinquish.  He  did  not  allonr 
himself  to  be  tempted  to  idleness,  but  was  a  faith- 
ful student  when  m  college  and  afterward  a  seeker 
of  employment.  He  finally  received  an  important 
business  position,  and  while  every  thing  looked  bright 
before  him,  with  an  opportunity  to  show  his  abilities 
and  high  qualities,  he  was  attacked  by  a  fatal 
disease.  He  was  especially  high-minded  and  re- 
fined, and  endeared  by  his  amiable  disposition  to  all 
who  knew  him.  He  was  faithful,  loyal,  conscien- 
tious and  sincere.  Such  a  character  can  ill  be 
spared,  and  it  will  long  be  followed  by  affectionate 
remembrance  and  esteem." 
II  Charlotte,  b.  March  6,  1864,  in  Boston;  m.  Nov.  17, 
1888,  at  Emanuel  Church,  Boston,  Walter  Cabot 
Baylies,  of  Taunton,  Mass.  He  was  graduated  at 
Harvard  College,  1884,  and  at  once  entered  the  office 
of  the  freight  department  of  the  Erie  R.  R.  in  New 
York.  In  the  spring  of  1889  he  was  appointed  assist- 
ant general  freight  agent  of  that  corporation. 

Note. —  Mr.  George  P.  Upham  says  that  his  father  and  his  grandfather 
were  accustomed  to  write  their  names  "  Phinehas."

Upham  Genealogy.

317.  Frederick*  Upham  (Samuel  S.\  Amos',  Amos',  Phineas*, 
Phineas',  Phineas*,  John*),  of  Fairhaven,  Mass.,  b.  Oct.  4,  1799, 
in  that  part  of  Maiden  which  has  since  become  Melrose,  Mass. ; 
m.  Deborah  Bourne,  b.  Oct.  24,  1797,  a  lineal  descendant  of  the 
Rev.  Richard  Bourne,  of  Sandwich,  Mass.,  one  of  the  most  cele- 
brated of  the  Puritan  clergy.  Frederick  Upham  left  his  native 
town  at  the  age  of  20,  became  a  Methodist  clergyman  and  D.  D., 
all  his  ministry  being  in  New  England.  On  his  89th  birthday, 
Oct.  4,  1888,  he  preached  a  sermon,  having,  been  at  that  time  68 
years  in  the  ministry.  He  led  a  very  active  life,  and  at  one  time 
declined  what  was  probably  an  opportunity  of  entering  Congress, 
for  the  reason  that  he  considered  politics  inconsistent  with  his 
profession  as  a  minister.  Besides  preaching  at  Fairhaven  for  many 
years,  he  had  also  preached  at  Dorchester,  Providence,  and  other 
places. 

The  Boston  Journal  of  Oct.  5,  1889,  contiiined  the  following 
notice  of  Dr.  Upham : 

"  REV.  DR.  FREDERICK  UPHAM, 
The  Nestor  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  Celebrates  His  Ninetieth 

Birthday. 

"  The  nestor  of  the  New  England  Southern  Coni'erence  of  the 
Methodist  denomination,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Frederick  Upham,  of  Fair- 
haven, celebrated  his  90th  birthday  yesterday,  after  a  service  of 
nearly  70  years  in  the  ministry,  63  consecutive  years  having  been 
in  effective  relations  with  this  conference.  The  venerable  clergy- 
man received  his  first  appointment  in  182 1,  which  was  to  the 
pastorate  of  Scituate.  Subsequently  he  served  successively  in 
Sandwich,  Martha's  Vineyard,  Falmouth,  New  Bedford,  Newport 
and  almost  all  the  stations  in  the  Southern  New  England  Con- 
ference. Dr.  Upham  is  a  native  of  Melrose,  Mass.  For  it 
years,  from  1837  to  1847,  he  was  presiding  elder.  He  has  been  a 
member  of  four  General  Conferences —  1832,  1840,  1844,  1872  — 
and  was  honored  with  the  degree  of  D.  D.  in  1855  by  what  is  now 
De  Pauw  University.  At  the  General  Conference  of  1832,  which 
was  held  in  Philadelphia,  he  met  Bishop  McKendree,  who  was 
elected  to  the  Episcopate  in  1808,  and  was  the  second  bishop 
after  Asbury.  So  far  as  can  be  learned  there  is  now  but  one  other 
living  member  of  that  General  Conference.  He  was  granted  super- 
annuated relations  in  1883,  because  of  impaired  health.  His  gen- 
eral health  now,  however,  is  very  good,  and  his  mind  bright  and 
active.  He  is  the  father  of  Prof.  Samuel  F.  Upham  of  the  Drew 
Theological  Seminary  at  Madison,  N.  J.    The  venerable  clergy-

he  received  the  felicitations  of  numerous  friends  at  his  Fairhaven 
home." 

He  d.  March  20,  1891,  as  shown  by  the  following  obituary 
notice : 

"THE  REV.  FREDERICK  UPHAM. 

Boston,  March  20  (Special). —  The  Rev.  Frederick  Upham, 
probably  the  oldest  Methodist  clergyman  in  America,  died  at  his 
home  in  Fairhaven  this  morning.  He  was  born  in  Melrose,  Mass., 
on  Oct.  4,  1799.  At  the  age  of  21  he  began  to  preach  in  the 
Scituate  Circuit  as  junior  preacher.  That  circuit  included  all  the 
towns  from  Plymouth  to  Dorchester,  and  he  traveled  over  it  once 
each  month.  He  was  stationed  in  New  Bedford  in  1825,  1853, 1854, 
1871  and  1872.  He  was  also  stationed  at  different  times  at  Sand- 
wich, Bristol,  Provincetown,  Fall  River,  Newport,  Providence, 
Taunton  and  Fairhaven.  From  1837  to  1847  he  was  presiding 
elder.  He  was  a  member  of  the  General  Conferences  held  in 
1832,  1840,  1844  and  1872.  In  1865  he  received  the  degree  of 
D.  D.  from  the  institution  now  called  De  Pauw  University.  He 
retired  from  active  work  in  1883  because  of  physical  infirmity.  He 
leaves  a  son  —  the  Rev.  Dr.  S.  F.  Upham,  professor  of  practical 
theology  in  Drew  Theological  Seminary  —  and  two  grandsons  — 
the  Rev.  Frederick  Upham,  Jr.,  of  the  New  England  Conference, 
and  the  Rev.  Frank  Upham,  of  the  New  York  East  Conference. 
The  public  funeral  services  will  be  held  at  the  Methodist  Church, 
Fairhaven,  on  Monday,  March  23,  at  i  o'clock.  Among  the 
prominent  clergymen  expected  to  be  present  are  the  Rev  Dr.  S. 
M.  Buckley,  of  New  York;  the  Rev.  Dr.  Ela,  of  Boston;  the  Rev. 
Walter  Ela,  presiding  elder  of  the  New  Bedford  district,  and  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Talbot,  of  Ptovidence."

Allen  Sawyer,  b.  Nov.  8,  1834,  in  Schoharie,  N.  Y.  His  father 
died  when  he  was  7  years  old,  and  at  the  age  of  10  he  went  to 
Watertown  to  live  with  his  aunt  Rebecca,  the  wife  of  Job  Sawyer; 
lived  on  the  farm  until  18  years  old,  after  which  was  clerk  in  a 
store  5  years.  From  1843  to  18^4  was  partner  in  a  mercantile 
house.  In  1856  was  elected  cashier  of  a  bank  at  Watertown, 
since  the  Third  National  Bank,  in  which  position  he  continued 
until  his  death.  Samuel  Baker  Upham  died  at  Watertown,  May 
10,  1893.  The  following  obituary  notice  was  published  in  the 
Watertown  Times  of  May  1 1 : 

"  DEATH  OF  S.  B.  UPHAM. 

"  Between  the  hours  of  10  and  1 1  o'clock  last  night,  at  the  fam- 
ily residence.  No.  33  Clinton  street,  Samuel  B.  Upham,  the  much- 
respected  citizen  and  well-known  banker,  passed  quietly  away  at 
the  a^e  of  73  years.  He  had  been  in  poor  health  for  a  long  time, 
and  smce  October  last  has  been  afflicted  with  illness  that  grad- 
ually grew  worse  until  the  end.  Death  has  not  been  unexpected 
for  several  weeks  past.    Its  cause  was  kidney  trouble. 

"  Samuel  B.  Upham  was  a  native  of  New  England,  but  a  resi- 
dent for  much  the  greater  part  of  his  life  in  this  county.  He  was 
born  at  Templeton,  Mass.,  Sept.  38,  1819,  his  father  being  John 
Upham,  of  Templeton.  His  mother's  maiden  name  was  Susan 
Baker.  His  father  died  when  he  had  attained  his  eighth  year,  and 
in  1838,  a  year  later,  he  came  to  Watertown  Center  to  reside  with 
his  uncle.  Job  Sawyer,  a  farmer.  There  he  lived  until  his  eighteenth 
year,  when  he  removed  to  Rodman  and  accepted  a  position  as 
clerk  in  the  general  store  of  Moffatt  &  Hanford,  which  he  held 
until  he  came  to  Watertown.  In  1844  he  left  Rodman  and  en- 
gaged in  the  dry  goods  business  with  Mr.  O.  C.  Utley,  in  the  store 
now  occupied  by  F.  R.  Lamon,  this  city,  and  he  remained  there 
until  1854,  when  failing  health  obliged  him  to  retire.  In  1857  he 
was  appointed  cashier  of  the  National  Union  Bank,  which  place  of 
trust  he  held  at  ihe  time  of  his  death. 

"  The  deceased  was  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church  many 
years.  He  was  at  one  time  a  director  of  the  C,  W.  &  S.  H.  R.  R.  Co., 
and  at  the  time  of  his  death  he  occupied  the  position  of  vice- 
president  of  the  Jefferson  County  Savings  Bank,  of  which  institu- 
tion for  many  years  he  has  been  a  trustee.  Though  a  strong 
believer  in  the  principles  of  the  Republican  party,  Mr.  Upham 
never  accepted  nor  sought  public  office.  He  was  an  able  finan- 
cier, a  trustworthy,  confidence-inspiring  cashier,  and  his  death  is 
a  loss  to  the  community  and  to  the  banking  institution  with  which

'  he  was  connected,  as  well  as  a  grievous  affliction  and  a  loss  which 
nothing  can  replace  to  a  devoted  wife  and  family. 

"Mr.  Upham,  in  June,  1847,  married  Miss  Mary  Allen  Lawyer, 
of  Schoharie.  From  the  union  there  were  seven  children,  all  but 
one  of  whom  survive  him.  They  are :  Addison  L.,  Charles  O. 
and  Samuel  A.  Upham,  Mrs.  John  Sterling,  and  Misses  Annie  R. 
and  Lizzie  A.  Upham,  all  of  this  city.

pelier,  and  were  his  particular  friends  until  his  death.  He  studied 
law  in  the  office  of  his  father,  at  Montpelier,  at  which  place  he 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  soon  after  reaching  his  majority,  and 
practiced  his  profession  in  Vermont  several  years.  In  April,  1845, 
he  moved  to  New  Lisbon,  O.,  where  he  remained  until  1858.  In 
the  latter  year  he  removed  to  Canton,  O.,  where  he  gained  a  large 
and  lucrative  practice,  ultimately  rising  to  the  head  of  his  pro- 
fession in  that  state.  It  is  said  there  are  many  men  now  living 
(1889)  who  were  indebted  to  his  influence  with  Mr.  Lincoln's 
cabinet  (nearly  all  of  whom  were  his  personal  friends)  for  their 
promotion  and  the  position  in  life  which  they  have  since  attained. 
Those  who  knew  him  said  he  inherited  in  a  large  degree  the  tal- 
ents and  genius  of  his  father,  was  well  versed  in  the  law  and  an 
eloquent  advocate,  and  that  he  was  at  all  times  kind  and  consid- 
erate in  his  dealings  with  the  younger  members  of  his  profession. 
He  died  at  Canfield,  Mahoning  Co.,  O.,  while  attending  court  at 
that  place.  At  the  time  of  his  death  the  Steubenville  (O.)  Herald 
of  April  4,  1865,  made  the  following  mention  of  him: 

"William  K.  Upham,  Esq.,  was  a  native  of  Vermont  and  a 
son  of  the  late  United  States  Senator  Upham  of  that  state.  He 
was  a  gentleman  of  fine  family,  education  and  presence,  and  as 
an  attorney  stood  at  the  head  of  his  profession  in  this  state, 
ranking  with  Chase,  Stanton,  Corwin,  Vinton,  John  A.  Bingham 
and  others.  He  had  his  faults,  but  with  many  noble  traits;  he 
was  social,  magnanimous,  and  generous  to  a  fault.  As  a  man  of 
talents  he  claimed  our  special  admiration." 

The  members  of  the  Stark  County  (O.)  Bar  erected  a  monument 
to  his  memory  over  nine  feet  high,  of  finely  wrought  and  finished 
Italian  marble,  as  a  mark  of  respect  from  the  lawyers  of  Stark  Co. 
to  one  who  was  once  a  leading  light  in  their  profession.  On  the 
base,  in  large  letters,  is  simply  the  name: 

UPHAM. 
The  face  of  the  spire,  near  the  base,  bears  the  following  inscription : 

"William  K.  Upham. 

Born  at  Montpelier,  Vermont,  April  3d,  181 7. 

Died  at  Canfield,  Ohio,  March  2 2d,  1865. 

Erected  by  the  Members  of  the  Stark  County  Bar." 

Both  William  K.  Upham  and  his  father  were  six  feet  in  height. 
William  K.  Upham  and  wife  Marie  Elizabeth  had  : 

I  Sarah  M.,  b.  1845;  m-  Wallace  H.  Ballou.  She  d.  at 
Kansas  City,  Mo.,  Jan.  26,  1882,  leaving  children, 
Ida  M.  and  George  Langdon.

1819,  in  Montpelier,  Vt.;  m.  Dec,  1846,  in  Philadelphia,  Anne  E. 
Bancroft.     He  d.  June  29,  1885,  of  cancer  of  the  stomach. 

He  left  Vermont  at  the  age  of  20,  in  1839,  and  went  to  the  city 
of  New  York,  where  he  was  employed  as  a  clerk;  was  also  so 
employed  in  Richmond,  Va.,  and  other  cities  in  the  South,  but 
soon  returned  North.  In  1842  entered  the  U.  S.  Navjr  at  Nor- 
folk, Va.,  and  was  made  purser's  clerk;  the  year  followmg  being 
transferred  to  the  U.  S.  brig  Truxton,  which  sailed  for  Constanti- 
nople, and  returned  to  New  York  in  Jan.,  1844,  with  the  remains 
of  Com,  David  Porter;  was  then  assigned  to  the  steamer /'«««/<7« 
(Com.  Stockton),  with  the  rank  of  master's  mate,  and  was  on  board 
of  that  ship  at  the  memorable  explosion  of  the  gun  "  Peacemaker." 
Transferred  to  the  sloop-of-war  Falmouth,  and  after  cruising  in 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico  until  the  next  year,  was  discharged  from  the 
navy  at  Pensacola,  Fla.,  and  returned  to  Vermont. 

In  the  spring  of  1846  went  to  Philadelphia,  and  was  employed 
as  a  book-keeper  in  the  lumber  business,  remaining  there  until 
1849,  during  which  time  was  married. 

On  the  1 6th  of  Jan.,  1849,  sailed  for  California  in  the  brig 
Osceola  from  Philadelphia;  went  around  Cape  Horn,  touching  at 
Rio  de  Janeiro  and  Talcahuana,  and  arrived  in  San  Francisco 
Aug.  5,  1849. 

Was  for  a  time  engaged  in  mining  on  the  Calaveras  river,  but 
soon  returned  to  San  Francisco  and  obtained  employment  as 
book-keeper  with  the  Pacific  JVeivs,  a  newspaper  just  being  started, 
at  a  salary  of  $100  per  week.  In  the  spring  of  1850  he  associated 
himself  with  Ave  practical  printers,  and  in  Sacramento  started  the

Sacramento  Transcript,  the  first  daily  paper  published  in  Califor- 
nia outside  of  S.in  Francisco.  In  the  fall  of  1850  he  sold  his  in* 
terest  in  the  Sacramento  Transcript  for  $10,000  and  returned  to 
Philadelphia. 

In  February,  185 1,  he  started  the  Philadelphia  Sunday  Mercury, 
which  paper  he  continued  to  ])ublish  three  years;  and  was  then  in 
the  stationery  and  news  business  in  Philadelphia  until  1863,  after 
which  engaged  in  the  perfumery  and  proprietary  medicine  business 
at  35  South  Eighth  street,  in  which  he  continued  during  the  re- 
mainder of  his  life,  though  his  later  years  were  mostly  passed  in 
Florida,  where  he  had  pecuniary  interests,  and  in  the  development 
of  which  country  he  was  greatly  interested  personally. 

He  took  ^reat  interest  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  early  days 
in  California,  and  in  1878  published  a  bound  volume  entitled 
"  Notes  of  a  Voyage  to  California  via  Cape  Horn,  together  with 
Scenes  in  El  Dorado  in  1849  and  1850,"  which  was  highly  appre- 
ciated by  the  older  Californians  as  a  truthful  and  creditable  history 
of  the  times  of  which  he  wrote.  He  was  delegated  by  the  "  Society 
of  California  Pioneers  "  at  San  Francisco  to  represent  that  society 
at  the  dedication  of  the  Lick  Monument  at  Fredericksburg,  Pa., 
on  the  22d  of  April,  1878,  which  duty  he  performed  in  a  highly 
creditable  and  satisfactory  manner,  his  address  on  that  occasion 
being  published  in  full  in  the  California  ])apers,  and  being  the 
subject  of  much  favorable  comment  there  and  elsewhere  by  the 
press.  He  was  one  of  the  vice-presidents  of  the  "  Associated 
Pioneers  of  the  Territorial  Days  of  California,"  the  members  com- 
posing which  society  being  residents  of  the  Eastern  States  —  "  re- 
turned Californians."  Expressly  for  the  meetings  of  this  society 
he  wrote  a  poem  and  three  songs  dedicated  to  the  pioneers  of  Cali- 
fornia, all  of  which  were  published;  one  of  these,  the  "  Song  of 
the  Argonauts,"  was  especially  remarkable,  and  "The  Land  We 
Adore  was  replete  with  graphic  reminiscences,  though  not  with- 
out a  vein  of  pathos  in  its  vivid  portrayals  and  *'  fond  recollections 
of  long-ago  times."  He  also  wrote  an  article  on  "  Pioneer  Jour- 
nalism in  California,"  which  attracted  the  general  attention  of 
the  press.  For  the  centennial  year  at  Philadelphia  he  composed 
the  following:

Of  battles  fought  and  won.

All  answer  to  the  call.

Philadelphia,  February  11, 1875. 

He  was  an  unusual  man,  of  remarkable  energy,  many  resources, 
and  strongly-individualized  character,  as  evidenced  by  the  events 
and  incidents  of  his  life.  He  was  much  interested  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  this  genealogy,  and  furnished  most  of  the  information  here 
recorded  pertaining  to  the  Montnelicr  Uphams;  but  (like  several 
others  who  have  manifested  a  like  interest  and  have  passed  away 
during  its  preparation),  he  did  not  live  to  witness  its  publication. 
As  already  shown,  he  died  in  his  67th  year.

366.  Calvin  Hoadley"  Upham  (Alvin',  Jonathan',  Jona- 
than*, Samuel*,  John',  Phineas',  John'),  of  Ripon,  Wis.,  b.  Feb. 
18,  1828,  at  Westminster,  Mass.;  m.  at  Westminster,  Oct.  28,  1851, 
Amanda  E.  Gibbs,  who  was  living  at  Ripon,  1892.  He  was  an 
officer  in  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  and  served  as  captain  and  com- 
missary of  subsistence  in  the  Department  of  the  Gulf,  where  he 
rendered  very  able  and  efficient  service.  His  commission  was 
signed  by  President  Lincoln  and  Secretary  Stanton,  a  fact  which 
he  regarded  with  considerable  pride.  He  was  for  many  years  a 
prominent  citizen  of  Ripon,  at  which  place  he  died,  February  27, 
1892.  At  his  death  the  following  obituary  notice  was  published 
in  the  Ripon  Free  Press,  of  March  3,  1892: 

"  OBITUARY. 

"  After  a  brief  sickness,  the  result  of  apoplexy,  Mr.  C.  H.  Upham 
died  on  last  Saturday  morning,  and  was  buried  from  his  residence 
in  Ripon  on  Monday  morning,  the  service  being  conducted  by  the 
Rev.  E.  H.  Merrell,  of  the  College.  His  brothers  from  Shawano 
and  Marshfield,  with  their  wives,  his  son  Fred  and  wife,  from 
Marshfield,  a  sister  and  her  husband  and  a  large  number  of  neigh- 
bors and  friends  were  at  the  funeral. 

"Mr.  Upham  was  born  at  Westminster,  Mass.,  on  Feb.  18,  1828. 
He  was  educated  in  the  common  school  of  his  neighborhood  and 
at  Westminster  Academy.  At  the  age  of  20  he  came  to  Niles, 
Mich.,  but  returned  to  Westminster  in  185 1,  where  he  married. 
In  1853  '16  came  to  Racine,  Wis.,  and  from  this  place  his  neigh- 
bors sent  him  to  the  State  legislature  in  1861.  In  1862  he  joined 
the  army  and  remained  in  the  service  till  the  close  of  the  war. 
He  held  the  important  post  of  chief  of  commissary  for  the  de- 
partment of  Louisiana,  which  lies  west  of  the  Mississippi,  during 
the  larger  part  of  his  service.  In  i866  he  went  to  Shawano,  Wis., 
where  he  engaged  in  general  merchandising  with  a  brother,  and 
was  very  prosperous.  He  removed  to  Ripon  with  his  family  in 
1877,  where  he  has  since  resided.  He  was  postmaster  of  Ripon 
during  Arthur's  administration. 

"  Mr.  Upham  was  a  shrewd  and  exact  business  man,  a  sterling 
patriot,  a  kind  neighbor,  and  a  generous  friend.  He  had  a  very 
wide  acquaintance  among  public  men,  and  was  greatly  respected 
by  them. 

"  He  was  one  of  a  family  of  nine,  five  boys  and  four  girls. 
Two  brothers  and  three  sisters  survive  him.  Of  his  own  family, 
besides  the  widow,  a  son,  Frederick  Upham,  Esq.,  of  Marshfield, 
and  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Dr.  Frank  Everhard,  survive.  One  daugh- 
ter died  in  infancy."

at  the  first  battle  of  Bull  Run;  was  paroled,  and  in  1863  was  ap- 

f)ointed  a  cadet  at  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy,  having  been  se- 
ected  for  that  purpose  by  President  Lincoln.  He  was  graduated 
at  West  Point  in  the  class  of  1866;  entered  the  regular  army  as 
second  lieutenant,  Fifth  U.  S.  Artillery,  June  18,  1866;  transferred 
to  the  Fourth  Artillery,  Oct.  23,  1866;  promoted  first  lieutenant, 
March  4,  1869;  resigned  Nov.  18,  1869.  After  resigning  from  the 
army  he  engaged  in  business  in  Wisconsin,  and  in  1891  was  living 
in  Marshfield. 

The  Milwaukee  Telegraph  of  June  10,  1888,  published  an  ac- 
count of  Marshfield,  as  "  One  of  Wisconsin's  Most  Remarkable 
Cities,"  which  account  included  various  references  to  The  Upham 
Manufacturing  Company,  and  its  president,  William  H.  Upham. 
The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  paper  in  question  : 

"  The  city  of  Marshfield,  whose  almost  magic  growth  from  a 
dense  wilderness  to  the  business,  financial  and  social  proportions 
of  one  of  the  finest  cities  of  the  state  and  North-west,  has  become 
known  to  all  enlightened  readers,  furnishes  an  excellent  illustra- 
tion of  the  results  that  can  be  accomplished  by  a  brainy,  enter- 
prising and  public-spirited  class  of  citizens  and  business  men,  all 
united  in  the  common  purpose  of  erecting  and  maintaining  a 
busy,  live  and  thriving  city.  It  is  a  true  saying  that  it  is  the  citi- 
zens that  muke  a  city,  and  this  maxim  has  never  been  exemplified 
in  a  more  striking  degree  than  by  the  accomplished  results  of  the 
energy  of  the  citizens  of  this  most  remarkable  of  the  Northern 
Wisconsin  cities. 

"  Marshfield  is  situated  on  the  main  line  of  the  Wisconsin  Cen- 
tral railroad,  192  miles  north-west  of  Milwaukee,  33  from  Stevens 
Point  and  40  from  Wausau.  It  is  located  in  the  midst  of  one  of 
the  richest  agricultural  regions  of  the  West,  and  is  bounded  on 
the  west  by  the  Yellow  and  on  the  east  by  the  Eau  Pleine  rivers. 
The  timber  is  mainly  hardwood,  with  heavy  pine  forests  on  the 
lower  lands.  Nowhere  in  the  West  is  there  a  city  more  favored 
by  natural  advantages  and  climate,  and  with  such  varied  and  di- 
versified resources  to  welcome  the  manufacturer,  the  business  or 
the  professional'man,  the  farmer  or  the  laborer.  The  town  was 
platted  and  organized  as  a  village  in  1879,  ^"^  incorporated  as  a 
city  in  1883,  and  is  now  subdivided  into  four  wards.  The  muni- 
cipal government  is  conducted  by  a  mayor  and  board  of  alder- 
men, and  the  city  has  no  bonded  debt. 

"  The  first  impetus  toward  building  a  city  was  in  1879,  when 
Colonel  W.  H.  Upham,  then  of  Shawano,  came  to  this  section, 
then  a  dense  wilderness,  and  built  a  small  saw  and  shingle-mill, 


''fN^WPH^

nnd  it  is  to  the  indnmitnblc  will,  enterprise  and  public  spirit  of 
this  remarkable  man  the  town  owes  its  development  and  present 
standing  as  a  );reat  manufacturing  center,  and  to  him  justly  be- 
longs the  title  of  being  the  father  and  founder  of  the  city. 
Colonel  Upham  is  a  gentleman  in  the  prime  of  life,  tireless  and 
devoted  to  his  large  business,  which  he  personally  supervises;  is  a 
man  of  rare  education  and  ability,  having  been  eibu^ated  and 
graduated  at  West  Point,  served  in  the  (livil  war  and  in  the  rejju- 
lar  army,  and  is  admired  by  all  for  his  untiring  energy  and  m- 
tecrity. 

After  the  mill  started  business,  business  men  nnd  settlers 
flocked  to  this  region,  and  the  population  increased  rapidly  from 
718  in  1880  to  2,092  in  1885,  while  the  census  of  January,  1888, 
taken  by  the  city,  showed  the  number  to  be  3,009.  Unlike  many 
western  towns,  Marshfield  has  never  experienced  a  'boom,'  nor 
the  attendant  financial  disaster  following  an  inflation  of  values 
and  property.  The  growth  has  been  strong  and  steady  and  there 
can  be  no  backward  progress,  for  though  the  leading  business  at 
present  is  manufacturing,  the  city  is  backed  by  one  of  the  finest 
farming  countries  in  the  world,  already  well  developed. 

"  Prior  to  June  27,  1887,  the  entire  business  and  residence  por- 
tion of  the  town  was  built  of  wood  and  highly  combustible.  On 
the  day  last  named,  one  that  will  be  forever  recollected  by  all 
citizens  of  Marshfield,  a  (ire  started  in  the  large  lumber  yard  of 
The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company,  and  by  9  o'clock  of  the 
same  day  the  entire  business  plant  of  the  company,  a  large  num- 
ber of  residences  and  the  entire  business  portion  of  the  town, 
excejjting  one  small  store,  was  in  ashes.  Hundreds  of  men, 
women  and  children  were  homeless  and  in  dire  need  of  the  plain- 
est necessities  of  life.  Much  doubt  existed  in  the  minds  of  all 
whether  the  manufacturing  industries  and  the  city  would  be  re- 
built, and  then  it  was  that  the  mettle  of  the  business  men  was 
fully  tested.  Considerable  doubt  was  expressed  as  to  whether  The 
U])ham  Manufacturing  Company  would  rebuild  its  various  mills 
or  not,  but  on  the  28th  of  June  Colonel  Upham  ran  up  the 
American  flag,  and  announced  his  determination  to  rebuild,  when

such  a  building  boom  as  has  never  before  been  ecpialed  in  the

"While  considering  the  interests  and  advantages  of  this  western 
city,  it  is  but  proper  to  make  more  than  a  passing  mention  of  the 
real  nucleus  of  its  solidity  —  its  manufacturing  interests.  Fore- 
most among  these  is  The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company,  whose 
business  plant  stands  second  to  none  in  the  state  or  in  the  West, 
both  in  its  magnitude  and  in  the  diversity  of  its  manufactures. 
The  officers  of  this  company  are:  W.  H.  Upham,  president;  Fred. 
W.  Upham,  vice-president;  Charles  M.  Upham,  managing  director 
at  Shawano;  Merril  H.  Wheeler,  secretary,  and  Frank  R.  Upham, 
treasurer.  The  company  owns  and  operates  a  large  saw  and 
shingle-mill,  running  two  of  the  noted  'handsaws; '  aplaning-mill, 
a  furniture  factory,  veneering  works,  machine  shops,  and  one  of 
the  most  extensive  roller  flouring-mills  in  the  North-west.  About 
800  men  are  employed  the  year  round,  who  are  paid  weekly.  To 
illustrate  the  quality  of  the  manufactured  products,  it  is  but 
necessary  to  remark  that  the  flour  products  cf  the  Marshfield 
roller-mills  and  the  manufactured  furniture  are  mainly  sold  in  the 
cities  of  San  Francisco,  Portland,  Ore.,  Boston,  New  York  and 
Chicago,  while  several  orders  have  been  filled  for  firms  in  Glasgow, 
London  and  other  European  cities.  In  addition  the  above  com- 
pany also  operates  one  of  the  largest  retail  general  stores  in  the 
We  I,  employing  a  manager  and  a  large  force  of  clerks.  The 
company  also  operates  a  logging  train  of  cars  and  locomotive, 
used  mainly  in  transporting  logs  to  the  different  mills.  No  com- 
pany stands  higher  in  Wisconsin,  and  none  is  more  highly  esteemed 
by  its  employes. 


1 


"The  Banner  Roller-Mills  also  deserve  more  than  a  casual  men- 
tion, from  the  fact  alone  that  they  are  one  of  the  largest  flour  and 
feed  manufacturers  in  the  West.  These  mills  are  owned  and  ope- 
rated by  The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company,  and  have  a  ca- 
pacity of  300  barrels  per  day.  The  main  mill  is  five  stories  high, 
lighted  by  electric  light  and  heated  by  steam,  and  cost  originally 
upwards  of  $40,000." 


It  will  be  observed  that  in  the  organization  of  The  Upham 
Manufacturing  Company  are  included  the  names  of  several  Up- 
hams,  all  of  whom  may  be  duly  identified  with  the  particular 
families  to  which  they  belong. 

A  later  paper,  published  in  Milwaukee,  Aug.  11, 1889,  contained 
the  following  personal  notice  of  William  H.  Upham:

Upham  Genealogy. 


"A  REMARKABLE    CAREER. 
[Yenowine's  News.] 

"  There  are  scores  of  people  in  Milwaukee  who  know  W.  H. 
Upham,  the  unpretentious,  mild-eyed,  easy-talking,  ex-army  officer, 
who  founded  Marshfield,  Wis.,  ten  years  ago.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Loyal  Legion,  a  frequenter  of  the  Milwaukee  Club,  a  promi- 
nent G.  A.  R.  man,  a  tower  of  strength  in  commercial  circles,  and 
a  politician  of  acknowledged  shrewdness.  He  has  the  distinction 
of  being  the  first  private  volunteer  soldier  to  be  honored  by  an 
appointment  to  West  Point,  receiving  his  commission  from  the 
hands  of  President  Lincoln.  Major  Upham  is  one  of  the  few 
people  who  have  lived  to  read  their  own  obituaries.  He  partici- 
pated in  the  first  battle  of  Bull  Run,  was  shot  through  the  lungs 
and  left  on  the  battle  field  for  dead.  The  news  reached  Racine, 
where  he  was  then  living,  and  his  relatives  and  friends  mourned 
him  as  one  dead.  The  Racine  papers  printed  long  and  eulogistic 
biographies,  one  of  them  erecting  a  cut-rule  tombstone  at  the 
head  of  the  notice,  with  two  angels  kneeling  and  weeping  before 
it.  Rev.  Mr.  Hutchins,  of  the  First  Baptist  Church,  Racine, 
preached  a  fervent  funeral  sermon,  which  was  printed  in  full  the 
next  day  and  now  occupies  a  conspicuous  position  in  the  major's 
scrap  book.  Seven  months  after  this  mournful  event  the  young 
soldier  turned  up  in  Libby  Prison,  where  he  had  been  all  the  time, 
hovering  between  life  and  death  for  a  long  time  after  being  hauled 
off  the  battle  field.  These  and  other  events  have  made  Major 
Upham's  life  a  very  remarkable  one. 

"  About  fifteen  years  ago  he  resigned  his  position  in  the  army  and 
penetrated  the  pine  forests  of  Wisconsin  to  make  his  fortune. 
After  operating  at  one  or  two  places  he  decided  to  locate  on  the 
site  of  what  is  now  the  town  of  Marshfield,  a  bustling,  enterprising 
little  place  on  the  line  of  the  Wisconsin  Central  Railway,  192 
miles  north  of  Milwaukee.  It  was  then  an  unbroken  wilderness, 
with  only  one  house.  Major  Upham  erected  a  saw-mill  and  went 
to  work.  The  forest  has  disappeared,  a  town  of  4,000  inhabitants 
has  sprung  up,  there  are  big  mills  and  manufacturing  plants,  and 
one  of  the  finest  farming  sections  in  the  state  has  been  opened  to 
trade  and  commerce.  When  one  stops  to  think  that  all  this  change 
has  taken  place  in  ten  years,  the  results  seem  truly  marvelous. 
And  even  more  than  this  —  the  town  has  been  built  twice  in  this 
short  time.  Two  years  ago  it  was  entirely  destroyed  by  fire.  The 
loss  was  very  heavy  and  the  blow  was  a  terrible  one.  The  plucky 
people  decided  at  once  to  rebuild,  and  in  consequence  it  is  to-day

one  of  the  handsomest  towns  of  its  size  in  the  country.  There 
is  a  whole  street  ot  brand  new  brick  stores  and  houses  and  the 
effect  is  very  pleasing.  The  streets  are  lighted  by  electricity,  the 
sidewalks  are  well  paved,  and  for  its  size  it  is  the  best  looking  and 
most  substantial  town  in  Wisconsin.  The  leading  industry  of 
Marshfield  is  The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company,  of  which 
Major  Upham  is  the  head  and  center.  The  plant  includes  one  of 
the  best  equipped  saw-mills  in  the  state,  with  a  capacity  of 
20,000,000  feet  a  year;  a  large  furniture  factory  employing  several 
hundred  men,  a  finely  equipped  flour-mill,  a  planing-mill  and  a 
large  general  store.  The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company  gives 
employment  to  half  of  the  population  of  the  town,  and  its  pay- 
roll amounts  to  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars  a  year.  The  plant 
is  most  perfect  in  all  its  details,  and  the  business  is  so  methodically 
organized  that  it  runs  like  clockwork.  There  is  one  notable  thing 
about  the  operations  of  this  company.  Other  towns  in  the  state 
have  suffered  by  mill  men  sawing  up  all  the  best  pine  in  a  section 
and  then  pulling  up  and  going  to  new  fields,  leaving  the  place  to 
a  slow  but  inevitable  death.  The  Upham  Manufacturing  Company 
converts  the  pine  into  lumber  and  at  the  sam^  time  saws  up  the 
hardwood  and  manufactures  it  into  furniture.  By  this  arrange- 
ment the  plant  becomes  permanent  and  a  much  greater  number 
of  men  are  employed. 

"  Major  Upham,  whose  genius  and  executive  ability  has  given  life 
to  this  vast  enterprise  and  made  its  existence  possible  in  the  face 
of  many  seemingly  insurmountable  obstacles,  is  a  comparatively 
young  man.  He  was  born  in  Westminster,  Mass.,  May  3,  1841. 
He  was  the  first  to  enlist  in  the  Belle  City  Rifles  at  the  breaking 
out  of  the  war,  and  this  company  was  of  the  only  Wisconsin  regi- 
ment in  the  first  battle  of  the  war.  As  already  stated,  his  name 
was  reported  in  the  list  of  soldiers  killed.  He  only  knew  that  he 
was  shot  down  and  later  taken  off  the  field  and  placed  in  Libby 
Prison,  where  he  was  kept  for  seven  months  and  then  paroled.  He 
went  to  Washington  and  was  sent  for  by  Lincoln,  to  whom  he  was 
able  to  give  a  succinct  statement  of  affairs  in  the  South.  Then 
he  was  given  an  appointment  at  West  Point,  and  it  is  a  singular 
fact  that  his  first  duty  after  being  assigned  to  the  army  was  to 
guard  Jeff  Davis,  who  was  a  prisoner  at  Fortress  Monroe.  Ten 
years'  service  in  the  army  gav^J  Major  Upham  all  the  military  life 
he  wanted.  His  career  in  the  development  of  north-central  Wis- 
consin has  been  something  remarkable.  A  clear-headed  business 
man  and  a  patriotic  citizen.  Major  Upham  has  long  ago  taken  a 
place  as  one  of  the  leading  figures  of  the  state."

In  1891  William  H.  Upham  was  elected  by  the  Grand  Army  of

town and  removed  to  Dubuque,  Iowa,  where  they  purchased  the 
Dubuque  Times,  and  published  that  paper.  In  i860  the  firm  pur- 
chased the  State  Register  at  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  Mr.  Upham  remain-

they  sold  the  Dubuque  Times,  and  the  same  year  Mr.  Upham  sold 
his  interest  in  the  State  Register  to  his  partner  and  returned  to 
Jamestown,  where  he  was  engaged  in  mercantile  business  and  in 
farming  for  about  eleven  years.  In  1873  Mr.  Upham  removed  to 
Chicago,  where  he  was  connected  with  the  financial  department  of 
the  Chicago  Inter-Ocean  until  1877.  From  the  latter  year  until 
1885  he  held  the  position  of  auditor  in  the  Chicago  i)OSt-office. 
In  1887  Mr.  Upham  and  his  former  partner  (Hon.  F.  W.  Palmer) 
purchased  the  entire  stock  of  the  Industrial  World  Company  at

Pope,  of  Spencer,  who  survived  his  death.  He  d.  at  the  Palace 
Hotel,  in  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  June  14,  1882,  while  a  member  of 
an  eastern  excursion  party  to  visit  the  Pacific  coast. 

He  was  an  extensive  manufacturer  of  woolen  goods  at  Spencer. 
He  was  an  earnest  Christian,  and  member  of  the  Congregational 
church,  very  active  and  consistent  in  the  cause  of  temperance. 
He  was  full  of  political  zeal,  and  always  had  great  influence  in 
town  and  state  affairs,  and  at  different  times  held  all  the  important 
town  offices  at  Spencer.  He  was  appointed  justice  of  the  peace 
in  185s,  chosen  representative  in  1857,  state  senator  in  1859, 
was  of  the  governor's  council,  with  the  Hon.  Alexander  H. 
Rice,  in  1877  and  1878,  and  with  Hon.  Thomas  Talbot  in  1879. 

The  following  is  one  of  several  similar  notices  which  were  pub- 
lished at  Spencer  on  the  occasion  of  his  death  : 

"THE  LATE  WM.  UPHAM. 
"  The  dispatch  announcing  the  sudden  death  of  our  prominent 
townsman,  which  occurred  at  San  Francisco  on  Wednesday  morn- 
ing, created  a  profound  feeling  of  sorrow  in  this  vicinity,  and  no- 
where was  the  feeling  more  manifest  than  among  his  own  em- 
ployes of  the  Spencer  V/oolen-Mills.  Spencer  will  be  fortunate 
if  she  ever  finds  a  mcin  that  can  take  his  place.     His  position  in 


?W|pi|P|j^

political,  social  and  town  affairs  cannot  be  overestimated.  He 
was  always  public  spirited,  as  his  first  thought  in  encouraging  any 
local  institution  was  not  of  self-interest,  he  did  not  ask  will  it  pay 
me,  as  a  manufacturer,  but  will  it  be  of  benefit  to  the  town.  We 
know  of  many  examples  where  this  spirit  was  spontaneously 
manifested.  He  has  served  the  town  faithfully  at  all  times,  and 
was  never  known  to  be  sparing  of  lis  time  and  money  in  the 
cause  of  local  progress,  and  if  these  services  could  be  estimated 
at  their  intrinsic  worth  even  our  own  citizens  would  be  astonished 
at  the  aggregate.  He  was  a  father  to  his  employes,  many  of 
whom  have  grown  old  living  a  contented  life  in  his  and  partners' 
service.  We  never  entered  the  Spencer  Woolen-Mills,  and  we 
have  been  there  a  great  many  times,  without  hearing  some  of  the 
employes  say  he  was  a  good  man  to  his  help,  and  that  in  dull 
times,  he  operated  his  mills  at  a  loss  to  keep  them  at  work.  He 
always  had  a  kind  word,  a  genial  smile  for  every  man,  woman  or 
boy  in  the  mills,  and  they  all  remember  the  many  holidays,  trips, 
and  prestnts  they  have  received  from  his  lavish  hand.  We  never 
saw  him  so  happy  as  when  he  spent  a  day  taking  his  operatives  to 
the  New  England  Institute  fair  at  Boston,  last  fall,  and  these 
pleasant  memories  will  live  after  him  for  years.  His  partners, 
Messrs.  Geo.  P.  Ladd,  Wm.  Stanley  and  Hugh  Kelly,  had  the 
same  spirit,  and  we  hope  will  continue  to  ripen  the  seeds  of  mer- 
cantile generosity  scattered  by  their  chief.  It  is  not  so  much  for 
what  he  did  in  the  legislature,  the  state  senate,  or  the  governor's 
council  that  we  revere  the  memory  of  Wm.  Upham,  but  for  the 
friendship,  succor  and  practical  help  which  he  constantly  gave  to 
the  lowliest  employe  in  his  mill.  He  had  some  plans,  thoughts 
and  methods  that  sometimes  made  him  enemies,  but  what  human 
being  is  perfect,  and  as  it  requires  no  stretch  of  magnanimity  to 
forget  all  these,  let  us  only  remember  his  good  deeds,  and  per- 
petuate his  virtues.  To  young  men  starting  in  business  life,  he 
was  always  stretching  out  a  helping  hand.  We  shall  never  forget 
the  practical  help,  and  the  trust  he  placed  in  us  when  we  began 
the  duties  of  publishing  the  Sun.^' 
Mr.  Upham  left  no  children.

20,  1 888,  in  Stoughton. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  legislature  in  1835,  his 
only  public  ofiSce.  His  son  wrote  concerning  him  :  "  He  was 
eminently  a  family  man,  and  the  dearest  spot  on  earth  to  him  was 
his  own  fireside.  There  was  no  pleasanter  family  than  his,  and  no 
one  enjoyed  it  more  than  he.  His  convictions  were  very  strong, 
and  whatever  he  believed  he  cherished  with  his  whole  nature.  He 
was  a  'Free  Soiler'  from  the  start,  an  ardent  temperance  man, 
and  an  earnest  advocate  of  every  cause  he  believed  to  be  right." 

At  his  death  the  following  obituary  notice  appeared  in  the  paper 
at  Stoughton  : 

"  Died  in  Stoughton,  Thursday,  Sept.  20,  1888,  at  his  residence 
on  Lincoln  atreet,  Abel  Tilden  Upham. 

"  '  Uncle  Abel,'  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  is  gone.  His  was 
a  familiar  and  well-beloved  face  on  our  streets.  For  many  years 
he  has  gone  in  and  out  among  us,  always  the  same  pleasant,  hon- 
est and  respected  citizen,  whose  friends  embraced  the  entire  com- 
munity, and  whose  goodness  was  recognized  by  all.  In  the  death 
of  Uncle  Abel  the  writer  loses  a  personal  friend,  and  we  know  we 
voice  the  sentiment  of  the  community  when  we  testify  to  the  sense 
of  deep  loss  in  his  death.  It  seems  only  yesterday  that  his  form 
was  seen  at  the  post-office  and  on  our  streets.  He  had  lived  be- 
yond the  full  of  three  score  years  and  ten,  and  yet  we  cannot  but 
feel  the  deep  sense  of  sadness  at  his  taking  away. 

"  He  has  always  resided  in  our  midst.  For  about  two  years  his 
health  has  been  failing,  the  result  of  a  cancer,  which  caused  his  death.

20,  i860,  sailed  from  New  York  in  the  steamer  for  California  via 
Panama;  was  first  employed  as  a  clerk  in  a  store  at  Hansonville, 
Yuba  Co.,  Cal.,  at  a  salary  of  $25  per  month.  A  few  months 
later,  commenced  teaching  in  a  district  in  Butte  county,  which 
was  afterward  called  "  Upham  District,"  which  name  it  retained 
permanently.  Taught  in  Evansville,  Hansonville,  Upham  dis- 
trict and  Bangor,  all  in  the  same  section,  until  the  fall  of  1863 ; 
was  then  elected  county  superintendent  of  schools  for  Butte 
county  for  two  years  from  March,  1864;  liesides  which,  taught 
school  at  Oroville  four  years.  In  the  fall  of  1867  was  elected 
superintendent  of  schools  in  Yuba  county,  remaining  as  such  until 
March,  1870.  Sweet's  History  of  the  Public  School  System  of 
California  says:  "Isaac  Upham  taught  in  Butte  county  for  several 
years;  organized  a  fine  school  at  Oroville,  and  was  subsequently 
an  able  county  superintendent    1  Butte  and  Yuba  counties." 

Upon  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  office  in  Yuba  county,  Mr. 
Upham  moved  to  San  Francisco,  representing  for  one  year  the

rt'here  t^he  entire  business  was  conducted  by  the  members  of  the 
firm  with  the  assistance  of  three  clerks.  In  1876  the  character 
of  the  business  was  changed  to  some  extent,  and  the  location 
moved  to  204  Sansome  street,  and  later  to  Battery  street,  where 
it  still  continues  under  the  name  of  Payot,  Upham  &  Co.,  whole- 
sale and  importing  stationers  and  booksellers.  The  firm  is  one  of 
the  largest  and  most  important  on  the  Pacific  coast,  and  its  various 
departments  furnish  employment  to  a  great  number  of  clerks  and 
other  employees.  Mr.  Upham's  residence  is  in  Oakland.  Isaac

Peppard,  Jan.  31,  1856,  in  Nova  Scotia.  He  was  a  teacher  in 
Nova  Scotia  in  early  life,  afterward  lived  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
and  in  Boston,  where  he  was  a  book-keeper ;  returned  to  Nova 
Scotia  in  1854,  and  was  engaged  in  mercantile  business;  was  also 
county  inspector  of  schools  for  many  years.  In  1880,  removed  to 
Grafton,  to  which  place  his  son  Nathan  had  gone  the  preceding 
year,  and  in  1881  established  the  Grafton  News  and  Times,  the 
most  important  newspaper  in  that  section,  the  paper  being  Re- 
publican in  its  political  views,  and  which  paper  he  continued  to 
publish  in  1889.     They  had:

Scotia;  m.  Agnes  McDougall.  Living  in  Drayton,

Ill  Mary  Elizabeth,  b.  Sept.  4,  i860;  m.  John  R.  Hogg, 
at  Grafton;  d.  at  Grafton,  July  17,  1888,  leaving 
three  children,  William  H.,  Harriet  and  Robert. 
At  her  death  the  following  obituary  notice  appeared 
in  the  Grafton  Herald  : 

"  The  Silent  Messenger. 

"In  this  city,  July  17,  1888, of  typhoid  fever,  Mrs. 
John  R.  Hogg,  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  C. 
Upham,  aged  twenty-seven  years  and  ten  months. 

"  Few  announcements  of  a  similar  kind  have  oc- 
casioned more  surprise  or  awakened  more  heartfelt 
regret  in  this  community  than  did  the  intelligence 
of  the  death  of  Mrs.  John  R.  Hogg.  Upon  the 
threshold  of  womanhood,  with  a  pulsation  of  a 
mother's  love  warming  the  young  hearts  of  her  three 
little  darlings,  the  loving  wife  and  excellent  lady  was 
torn  from  husband,  mother  and  father,  sisters, 
brothers,  and  passed  to  the  pathetic  silence  of  the 
tomb.  As  Miss  Lizzie  Upham  she  was  known  for 
her  refined  affability,  her  gentle  good  nature  and 
unparalleled  sweetness  of  temper.  As  Mrs.  Hogg 
her  power  to  compel  friendship  was  no  less  potent 
than  in  her  maiden  days,  ind  if  all  the  kind  words 
could  be  printed  that  have  been  spoken  in  her  praise,

place  yesterday  from  the  family  residence,  the  ser- 
vices being  conducted  by  the  Rev.  A.  McDonald, 
pastor  of  the  Baptist  church,  of  which  she  was  a  de- 
voted member.  After  the  service  at  the  home  a 
long,  sad  cortege  filed  away  to  the  cemetery,  where 
the  last  solemnities  were  administered,  and  Mrs. 
Lizzie  Hogg  was  '.owered  forever  from  the  scenes 
that  had  been  so  bright  to  her,  and  that  she  had 
rendered  so  much  brighter  by  her  presence."

443.  Henry  Pratt*  Upham  (Joel  W.',  Pliny',  Nathan*,  Isaac*, 
Phineas*,  Phineas*,  Phineas",  John'),  of  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  b.  in 
Millbury,  Mass.,  Jan.  26,  1837;  m.  Sept.  23,  1868,  Evelyn  Ger- 
trude Burbank,  b.  in  Lewis,  Essex  Co.,  N.  Y.,  October  30,  1844, 
the  daughter  rf  Simeon  Burbank,  of  St.  Paul,  formerly  of  Lud- 
low, Vt.,  where  he  held  a  commission  as  colonel  of  Vermont 
militia.  Colonel  Simeon  Burbank's  father  was  Samuel  Burbank, 
who  m.  April  22,  177^,  Eunice  Kendall,  of  Sherburne,  Mass.,  and 
served  in  the  Revolution.  He  was  at  the  battle  of  Lexington,  as 
an  ensign,  at  Bunker's  Hill  as  a  lieutenant,  and  in  the  Rhode 
Island  campaign  as  captain.  His  widow,  Eunice,  received  a  pen- 
sion until  her  death,  June  30,  1845,  at  the  age  of  95.  Captain 
Samuel  Burbank  lived  in  Massachusetts  and  in  Vermont. 

Henry  Pratt  Upham's  mother  died  when  he  wus  two  years  old, 
and  his  father  marrying  again,  he  was  brought  up  by  a  stepmother, 
whom  he  bears  in  affectionate  remembrance.  When  about  three 
years  old  his  father  moved  from  Millbury  to  Worcester,  Mass.,  and 
continued  to  live  there  during  the  remainder  of  his  life,  where  he 
acquired  a  competency  in  the  manufacture  of  the  famous  turbine 
water-wheel.  Henry  P.  Upham  attended  the  public  schools  at 
Worcester  until  about  1856,  and  soon  after  went  West.  He  reached 
St.  Paul  on  the  9th  of  March,  1857,  then  a  little  town  "  out  west," 
of  about  10,000  inhabitants.  Here  he  formed  a  copartnership 
with  Chauncey  W.  Griggs  (afterward  State  senator  and  colonel 
of  the  3d  Minnesota  Regiment  in  the  war  of  the  Rebellion).  The 
firm  was  successfully  engaged  in  the  lumber  business  for  about 
one  year,  owning  and  operating  a  saw-mill  on  the  banks  of  the 
Mississippi.  Mr.  Upham  was  also  engaged  in  the  flour  milling 
business  for  a  time.  In  1863,  he  became  teller  in  the  banking- 
house  of  Thompson  Brothers,  then  the  leading  bankers  at  St.  Paul. 
During  1863,  the  Thompson  Brothers,  with  other  capitalists,  or- 
ganized the  First  National  Bank  of  St.  Paul,  the  first  bank  of  this 
kind  in  Minnesota,  and  one  of  the  earliest  in  the  United  States, 
its  charter  being  numbered  203.     The  bank  was  started  with  a

capital  of  $350,000.  Mr.  Upham  was  teller  for  two  years  from 
its  organization,  and  then  assistant  cashier.  In  1869,  Mr.  Upham, 
with  others,  aided  in  organizing  the  City  Bank  of  St.  Paul,  of 
which  he  became  cashier,  the  president  being  General  H.  H. 
Sibley.  This  bank  was  operated  successfully  for  four  years,  when 
it  was  consolidated  with  the  First  National  Bank,  Mr.  Upham  be- 
coming one  of  the  officers  of  the  reorganized  bank.  After  the 
death  of  James  E.  Thompson,  in  1870,  Horace  Thompson  became 
president,  and  in  >873,  Mr.  Upham  became  cashier.  After  the 
death  of  Horace  Thompson  in  1880,  Henry  P.  Upham  was  elected 
president,  which  position  he  has  held  continuously  until  the 
present  time,  and  it  is  a  recognized  fact  that  the  remarkable  suc- 
cess of  this  bank  is  due  to  the  excellent  management  and  business 
ability  of  its  president,  with  the  aid  of  his  associate  officers  and 
directors.  At  the  present  date  the  capital  stock  has  quadrupled, 
with  a  surplus  of  $1,000,000,  which  is  constantly  increasing.  In 
1884,  a  large  and  well-constructed  building  was  erected  for  the  use 
of  the  bank,  one  of  the  most  commodious,  secure,  and  well-planned 
bank  buildings  in  the  West,  suited  to  accommodate  its  extensive 
and  rapidly  growing  business,  with  its  necessarily  large  corps  of  at- 
taches. Among  the  business  men  of  St.  Paul,  H.  P.  Upham  stands 
as  one  of  the  foremost  in  ability  and  integrity,  most  enterprising 
and  reliable,  and  at  the  same  time  most  conservative.  By  these 
characteristics  he  has  acquired  a  handsome  fortune. 

It  is  not,  however,  in  the  business  world  alone  where  Henry  P. 
Upham  is  known.  He  is  familiar  with  books  and  authors,  and 
owns  a  lar^e  and  carefully  selected  private  library,  to  the  con- 
tents of  which  he  is  no  stranger.  His  especial  interest  is  in  the 
direction  of  historical  and  genealogical  researches.  With  Ameri- 
can genealogy,  it  has  been  said,  there  is  probably  not  one  more 
familiar  outside  of  the  New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society, 
at  Boston,  certainly  there  is  not  one  more  so  in  the  West,  and 
many  families  in  the  North-west  are  indebted  to  him  for  what 
they  know  of  their  origin,  labor  of  this  kind,  to  him,  having  been 
a  labor  of  love.  He  has  been  for  many  years  treasurer  of  the 
Minnesota  State  Historical  Society,  whose  library  comprises  one  of 
the  most  extensive  collections  of  'historical  and  genealogical  works 
in  the  United  States,  probably  second  to  none  other  than  that  of 
the  New  England  Historical  and  Genealogical  Society  already  re- 
ferred to;  and  it  is  to  him  almost  exclusively,  that  this  society  is 
indebted  for  the  watchful  and  painstaking  labor  which  has  resulted 
in  the  rare  collection  of  valuable  books,  so  rare  that  persons  from 
a  remote  distance  frequently  send  to  St.  Paul  to  have  researches

made  at  this  library.     He  is  also  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Worcester  Society  of  Antiquity. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  (Upham)  Genealogy,  Henry  P.  Up- 
ham's  labor  has  been  untiring,  and  his  interest  has  never  flagged; 
many  "  lines"  of  Uphams  owe  it  to  him  alone  that  they  find  them- 
selves attached  to  the  "  main  stem."  His  time  and  money  have 
been  liberally  contributed,  and  the  Upham  posterity  owe  as  much 
to  him  for  the  appearance  of  this  book  as  to  the  compiler,  though 
he  declined  the  offer  to  have  his  name  placed  with  that  of  the 
compiler  on  the  title  page.  Mr.  Upham's  residence,  on  Summit 
avenue,  is  one  of  the  handsomest  in  St.  Paul,  where,  as  he  says, 
"the  latch  string  is  always  out  to  the  descendants  of  John  Upham."

had,  all  b.  in  St.  Paul: 

I  Gertrude,  b.  Oct.  i,  1870.

voyage  to  sea,  in  the  ship  Enoch  Train,  from  New  York  to 
Hong  Kong,  in  1872;  the  ship  was  dismasted  by  a  typhoon 
in  the  China  Sea,  and  afterward  towed  to  Hong  Kong  by  an  Eng- 
lish steamer.  He  returned  to  the  United  States  in  1873,  and  has 
been  living  in  California  since  1881,  at  Riverside,  Los  Angeles, 
San  Diego  and  Mayiield.  His  occupation  is  that  of  a  contractor

b.  in  Great  Village,  N.  S.,  Nov.  25,  1856;  m.  Agnes  McDougall 
(a  descendant  of  William  Putnam).  He  was  elected  as  a  Repub- 
lican, in  the  twentieth  Dakota  district,  to  the  House,  in  the  Terri- 
torial Legislature  of  Dakota,  Nov.  6,  1888.  The  St.  Paul  Globe 
(Democratic)  of  Nov.  24,  1888,  publishes  the  following  notice  of 
him: 

"  Nathan  Upham,  lately  elected  to  the  Dakota  legislative  assem- 
bly by  an  overwhelming  majority,  was  born  at  Great  Village,  N.  S., 
Nov.  25,  1856.  After  attending  the  graded  school  in  his  native 
town  until  14  years  old,  his  time  was  mainly  spent  as  a  clerk  in  a 
store  until  he  came  to  Dakota.  He  visited  the  Red  River  Valley 
in  1878,  but  did  not  stay.  While  on  his  way  he  became  acquainted 
with  W.  R.  Tweedlie,  ex-register  of  deeds  in  Pembina  county, 
who  also  returned  to  Ontario.  After  some  correspondence,  they 
determined  to  come  out  again  in  1879,  and  took  up  land  in  Dray- 
ton township,  where  they  lived  and  worked  together  until  late  in 
the  fall,  when  Mr.  Tweedlie  returned  to  Ontario  for  his  friends 
and  stock.  During  his  absence  in  the  winter,  Mr.  Upham  was 
emploved  in  hauling  wheat  for  Budge,  Eshelman  &  Co.,  who  had

then  started  business  in  the  new  town  of  Acton.  W.  J.  Anderson, 
one  of  the  firm,  being  appointed  receiver  of  the  United  States 
land  office,  Mr.  Upham  took  Mr.  Anderson's  place  in  the  store. 
In  Nov.,  1880,  he  was  elected  judge  of  probate  for  Pembina  county, 
considered  a  very  unimportant  office.  But  as  he  was  the  only 
person  who  could  take  final  proofs,  or  make  loans  between  Pem- 
bina and  Grand  Forks,  the  business  became  extensive  and  profit- 
able. Upon  the  organization  of  Walsh  county,  in  1881,  he  re- 
signed the  office  and  was  appointed  register  of  deeds  for  Walsh 
county,  which  office  he  held  until  1886.  During  the  latter  period 
of  his  term  he  had  acquired  a  farm  of  eight  hundred  acres  in  St. 
Andrews  township,  upon  which  he  has  resided  for  about  three 
years.  This  is  one  of  the  best  located  and  desirable  properties  in 
the  Red  River  Valley  outside  of  the  railroad  belt.  He  gives  his 
exclusive  attention  to  farming,  not  mere  grain  raising,  having  a 
herd  of  roc  to  130  head  of  cattle,  and  living  on  the  farm.  He 
has  been  married  nearly  four  years,  and  has  one  surviving  child. 
He  has  been  able  to  secure  and  maintain  his  popularity  bjr  inspir- 
ing confidence  in  his  honesty  and  ability,  and  b^  unassuming  and 
conciliatory  address."      Nathan  Upham  and  wife  Agnes  had:

CONCLUSION. 


Nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  has  slipped  away,  since,  after  a 
prolonged  absence  which  had  begun  at  an  early  age,  I  spent  a 
winter  at  home.  I  took  that  opportunity  to  question  my  father 
on  the  subject  of  his  Upham  ancestry  —  a  matter  about  which 
I  had  always  been  curious,  and  of  which  I  had  often  thought  while 
in  the  far  West.  He  could  tell  me  little  more  than  that  his  father 
came  from  Dudley,  Massachusetts,  and  that  there  was  a  tradition  that 
the  family  had  originated  in  Wales;  with  the  exception  of  an  aunt, 
he  had  never  seen  any  of  his  father's  people,  and  knew  very  little 
about  them.  He  was  able,  however,  to  tell  me  the  names  of  his 
grandparents,  and  of  his  uncles  and  aunts  —  more  than  is  usually 
known  under  such  circumstances,  as  I  have  since  had  occasion 
to  learn.  I  made  notes  of  such  information,  and  th'  •:»  notes  have 
grown  until  they  have  formed  the  records  in  the  pre^ieding  pages, 
embracing  grandfathers  —  "ready-made,"  so  to  speak  —  for  an 
endless  number  of  Uphams  now  living  and  yet  to  be  born. 

The  long-promised  "  Upham  book  "  is  at  last  an  accomplished 
fact,  and  the  labor  has  ceased;  though  the  work  could  be  extended 
indefinitely,  and  as  long  as  the  posterity  of  John  Upham  continue 
to  be  born,  to  marry,  and  to  die.  I  send  these  last  sheets  to  the 
publishers,  and  lay  aside  the  work  with  satisfaction,  though  not 
without  regret.  Regret  that  I  shall  here  part  company,  and  in  a 
certain  sense  cease  to  associate  with  the  ancient  worthies  whom  I 
have  learned  to  know  so  well.  The  Johns,  Phinehases,  Richards, 
Thomases,  Nathaniels,  and  others,  who  have  left  behind  as  unseen 
forces  those  hereditary  influences  which  have  characterized  us  to 
the  present  day  —  almost  as  with  the  hand  of  Destiny. 

In  my  wanderings  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  from  the 
British  Columbia  line  to  Mexico,  and  while  at  remote  frontier 
stations,  these  have  been  with  me,  lo,  these  many  years.  Constant 
familiarity  with  their  names  and  brief  biographical  records  has 
caused  them  —  with  me  —  to  seem  to  live  again.  I  run  through 
the  generations  mentally  and  recognize  each  individual,  as  the 
long  procession  passes  in  review.  Theirs  has  been  a  shadowy  but 
a  pleasant  companionship,  and  I  shall  miss  it.

I  can  see  the  stout-hearted  John,  his  wife  Elizabeth,  and  their 
little  ones,  and  his  sister  Sara,  as  thev  leave  forever  the  ancestral 
home  at  Bickton,  in  old  Devon,  to  join  with  the  Hull  colony,  and 
find  a  home  in  that  western  world  beyond  the  sea.  Here,  uncon- 
sciously  to  him,  to  take  his  place  at  the  head  of  this  large  family. 
Then  the  brave  Phinehas,  the  first-born  American  Upham,  as  he 
goes  forth  to  fight  in  those  early  days  of  that  war  of  races  which 
was  inevitable,  and  in  which  his  descendants  have  not  yet  ceased 
to  participate,  helping  to  make  civilization  on  this  continent  pos- 
sible, and  moving  with  the  star  of  empire  on  its  westward  course. 
I  can  see  him  wounded  and  bleeding  on  that  fatal  Sabbath  morn- 
ing at  the  storming  of  the  Narragansett  fort  —  one  of  the  greatest 
Indian  conflicts  in  the  history  of  this  country,  now  almost  for- 
gotten—  borne  in  the  arms  of  his  comrades  from  the  frozen  field 
where  he  had  so  gallantly  led  his  men  and  fought  so  well,  over  the 
snow  red  with  the  blood  of  two  races.  Carried  hence  to  distant 
Maiden,  there  to  die;  his  wife  Ruth,  widowed,  his  children  father- 
less. Down  to  this  point  our  ancestry  is  a  common  one;  here  the 
"  lines  "  diverge,  but  I  have  followed  them  all,  to  the  eleventh 
generation. 

And  now,  since  the  printing  of  the  earlier  pages  of  this  book, 
comes  from  Old  England  the  knowledge  of  a  remoter  ancestry, 
and  a  contemporaneous  kindred,  extending,  as  with  us,  down  to 
the  present  generations.  Our  English  kindred  we  hail  with  cor- 
dial greeting,  and  though  for  nearly  three  centuries  the  broad  At- 
lantic has  separated  us,  we  claim  the  unity  of  blood.  Soon  we 
that  live,  and  bear  the  name  on  both  sides  of  the  ocean  must  take 
our  places  in  that  silent  company  of  which  the  earlier  members 
have  moved  on  —  perhaps  to  know  each  other  in  a  life  beyond. 

During  the  progress  of  the  work  many  changes  have  come  — 
the  original  manuscript  shows  them.  Death  has  been  among  us 
and  gathered  his  harvest;  even  as  I  write,  I  stop  to  record  the  taking 
of  one  whose  end  has  come  —  but  whose  life  has  been  worthy. 
With  a  habit  of  scanning  the  obituary  columns  of  the  daily  press 
I  do  it  apprehensively,  for  several  who  have  assisted  in  the  prepa- 
ration of  this  genealogy,  and  have  looked  forward  to  its  appear- 
ance with  pleasurable  anticipation,  have  already  gone  without  being 
permitted  to  witness  its  completion. 

The  compiling  of  a  genealogy  is  a  laborious  though  fascinating 
task.  Those  who  appreciate  its  object  are  comparatively  few,  and 
one  so  engaged  must  be  willing  to  work  on  without  the  incentive 
which  might  be  furnished  by  a  general  co-operation  on  the  part 
of  those  for  whose  benefit  the  work  is  intended.     And  yet  the

Conclusion. 


accomplishment  of  this  one  has  proved  to  be  one  of  the  satisfac- 
tions of  a  lifetime.  If  its  effect  is  —  as  I  have  hoped  it  may  be  — 
to  cause  each  one  hearing  the  name  of  Upham  to  feel  that  he  has 
a  responsibility  for  bearing  it  creditably,  then  indeed  will  a  prand 
object  have  been  attained,  and  we  may  all  adopt  the  sentiment 
of  the  New  Brunswick  Uphams : 

"  If  it  is  not  in  all  mortals  to  command  success,  we  will  do  more, 
deserve  it."

EXPLANATORY  AND  INTRODUCTORY.

When  pages  7  to  18 — under  the  heading  of  "  the  name  in  Eng- 
land"—  were  sent  to  the  publishers,  it  was  with  the  hope  that 
they  might  be  useful  in  a  search  for  the  English  ancestry  of  the 
American  Uphams,  should  it  ever  be  practicable  to  undertake 
one.  But  such  a  discovery  was  only  regarded  as  a  possibility  of 
the  indefinite  future.  It  was  little  anticipated  that  even  before 
these  proof-sheets  were  corrected,  this  knowledge  would  be  in  our 
possession.  Yet  such  is  the  case,  and  the  book  now  includes  not 
only  the  identified  ancestry  of  the  emigrant  John  Upham  for  sev- 
eral generations,  with  indications  of  a  still  more  remote  trace  of 
the  family,  but  also  an  English  genealogy  of  very  considerable 
scope,  showini?  the  Uphams  from  an  early  period  down  to  the 
present  date,  chereby  adding  immensely  to  the  interest  and  value 
of  this  as  a  record  of  the  Uphams  of  England  and  America. 

For  this  importan:  knowledge  we  are  indebted  to  the  persever- 
ance and  untiring  labor  of  our  young  kinsman,  William  Upham 
Reynell-Upham,  Esq. —  whose  ancestry  is  shown  —  until  recently 
living  at  his  home  in  Bristol,  England,  but  now  in  the  United 
States,  where  he  brought  with  him  all  the  records  which  follow,  and 
has  since  his  arrival  here  taken  the  time  —  important  to  his  personal 
interests  —  to  arrange  for  publication  in  these  pages.  Before  leav- 
ing England  he  spent  fourteen  weeks  in  his  voluntary  and  self- 
imposed  task  of  searching  the  various  sources  of  information,  and 
it  is  sincerely  hoped  that  the  valuable  service  which  he  has  con- 
tributed will  be  appreciated. 

At  this  place  I  take  pleasure  in  recording  the  wish  of  Mr.  Reynell- 
Upham  that  the  valued  assistance  which  he  received  from  the 
following-named  gentlemen  should  be  acknowledg;ed,  viz. :  Dr.  T. 
N.  Brushfieid,  of  Budleigh,  Salterton,  who  searched  the  Budleigh 
records  for  him,  and  afterward  sent  him  a  number  of  names  which 
he  had  found;  the  Rev.  R.  Hobhouse,  of  St  Ive,  Cornwall,  who  sent 
him  full  details  of  Upham  farm,  etc.;  Arthur  Burch,  Esq,  bishop's 
secretary,  who  gave  him  access  to  the  bishop's  transcripts,  visita- 
tion books,  etc.,  preserved  at  the  Diocesan  Registry,  Exeter;  the 
record  keeper,  Somerset  House,  London,  who  gave  him  permission

—  only  granted  in  special  cases  —  to  extract  details  from  the  Pro- 
bate Calendars;  and  others. 

A  notable  feature  of  the  *'  new  lijjht  "  is  the  fact  which  appears 
that  the  wife  of  our  ancestor,  John  Upham,  of  New  England,  was 
not  Elizabeth  Webb,  as  "  assumed  "  so  confidently  on  page  34, 
but  Elizabeth  Slade.  The  mistake  was  a  natural  one,  still  it  is 
only  another  illustration  of  the  often-repeated  lesson,  that  no 
assumption  is  safe  in  genealogical  researches,  frequently  so 
strangely  misleading.  In  this  connection  I  will  only  invite  atten- 
tion to  what  is  mentioned  on  page  34:  "  John  Upham,  to  have 
been  the  uncle  of  Joseph,  the  son  of  Richard  Webb,  must  either 
have  married  the  sister  of  the  said  Richard  Webb,  or  Richard 
Webb  must  have  married  the  sister  of  John  Upham."  With 
reference  to  Sara,  the  sister  of  John  Upham,  mentioned  in  her 
father's  will,  as  well  as  in  the  passenger  list  from  England,  it  is 
suggested,  as  will  be  seen,  that  "  she  may  have  become  the  wife 
of  Richard  Webb." 

With  regard  to  the  Rev.  Joseph  Hull,  as  already  seen  on  page 
19,  he  had  been  for  eleven  years  rector  at  Northleigh,  which  posi- 
tion he  resigned  in  1632,  "and  gathering  a  company  of  devoted 
followers,"  etc.,  sailed  with  them  for  this  country  two  years  later. 
Northleigh — pronounced  Norley — is  about  ten  miles  from  Bickton, 
and  what  seems  more  natural  than  that  John  Upham,  then  a 
young  married  man  with  a  growing  family,  a  younger  son,  with 
little  prospect  of  succeeding  to  the  limited  ancestral  acres  at 
Bickton,  should  have  been  induced  to  join  his  fortunes  with  those 
of  the  Hull  Colony.  Whether  the  Puritan  movement  of  the  day 
toward  New  England  was  wholly  the  cause  of  this  may  be  ques- 
tioned. Until  two  years  prior  to  his  departure  from  England, 
Mr.  Hull  had  been  in  the  established  church.  On  page  24  it  also 
appears  that  he  was  afterward,  in  1659,  having  returned  to  Eng- 
land, again  identified  with  the  Episcopacy  as  rector  of  St.  Buryan's, 
Cornwall.  While  we  know  that  for  many  years  prior  to  his  death, 
John  Upham  was  a  deacon  in  the  New  England  Congregational 
church,  there  remains  a  reasonable  doubt  as  to  his  religious 
tendencies  in  England.  None  of  the  members  of  his  father's 
family  seem  to  have  been  identified  with  those  who  had  aban- 
doned the  Episcopal  forms,  and  his  uncle  Thomas  lived  and 
died  as  a  clergyman  of  the  established  church. 

It  is  interesting  to  observe  how  the  names  have  been  repeated 
through  the  numerous  successive  generations.  Nathaniel,  so  usual 
among  the  American  Uphams,  seems  to  have  come  in  with  the 
Slade  ancestry  in    England,  and  to  have  continued   with   the

Richards,  Johns  and  Thomases  down  to  the  present  time.  Phy- 
nehas  seems  to  be  purely  American  in  its  introduction,  and  to 
have  been  unknown  among  the  English  Uphams.  The  suggestion 
near  the  bottom  of  page  47,  as  to  the  origin  of  this  name,  seems 
now  even  more  probable.

Robert  Uphom  came  S3d  on  the  list  for  the  hundred  of  E.  Bud-

left  margin  of  the  membrane  the  names  of  the  taxpayers  were 
written  close  to  the  edge,  and  no  names  of  villages  or  towns  were 
added,  but  on  the  right  hand  (indented)  margin  there  was  plenty 
of  space,  where  as  above  represented  the  names  of  localities  were 
inscribed.  We  took  down  the  whole  list  of  the  taxpayers  in  the 
parish  of  "  holebrok "  where  this  Robert  Uphom*  was  living  in 
1332,  (6th  Ed.  Ill)  as  the  names  would  be  of  great  value  in  identi- 
fying the  family  and  locality  of  Robert  Uphom  in  these  records 
where  the  name  cf  the  parish  is  so  frequently  absent.  Next  to 
the  above  list  came  "  Boddl,"  (Budley)  with  its  taxpayers,  not 
however  containing  any  Uphams  or  Uphoms.  An  examination  of 
tiie  hundred  of  East  Budleigh  on  the  map  of  Devon,  reveals  a 
parish  named  Halbrook  near  Sowton,  and  a  little  tq  the  south  of 
it  we  note  "  Wynslade  House  "  marked. 

*This  Robert  Uphom  was  probably  living  there  in  1327,  for  the  lay  Sub- 
sidy in  I  Ed.  Ill  contains  his  name  with  others  who  are  found  in  this 
parish.

Neither  Bradelegh  Hund.  de  Mere  nor  any  other  parish  in  this

nearest  approach:  Will5  in  la  Hamme  paid  a  tax  of  ii.s.  ix.d. 
As  Bradley  is  close  on  the  borders  of  Somerset  it  is  possible  that 
he  crossed  over  into  that  county  between  the  aforesaid  periods.

The  Answer  of  Millicent  Culliforde  widou'e  Def  to  the  Bill  of 
Compl*  of  Margaret  Upham  widowe  complaynaunte. 

In  the  course  of  this  reply  she  denies  the  various  statements 
and  charges  in  toto  and  asserts  that  her  late  husband  Robert 
CuUiford  died  "  seysyd  in  his  demeane  as  of  freeholde  in  a  tene- 
ment and  closes  of  lande  parte  of  the  manner  of  Plattforde  in  the 
countie  of  Wiltes,  held  by  copie  of  courte  roll."  She  denies  that 
there  is  any  manor  named  Plattforde,  in  the  county  of  Southamp- 
ton and  prays  to  be  "  dismissed  out  of  the  bill  of  complaynte 
withe  all  reasonable  costs  and  charges  for  wrongfull  vexacOn 
susteyned  in  this  behalf." 

"  Plaitford  in  the  hundred  of  Trustfield,  Co.  Wilts,  is  so  called 
from  the  wide  or  crooked  ford  over  the  stream  which  passes 
through  it  and  adjoins  the  parish  of  Landford.  It  forms  an  ob- 
long narrow  strip  of  land  stretching  in  greatest  length  from  north 
to  south,  and  intersected  nearly  in  the  middle  by  the  turnpike 
road  leading  from  Salisbury  to  Southampton.  The  parish  is 
bounded  on  the  north  by  Melchet  Park,  on  the  south  by  Bram- 
shaw,  on  the  west  by  Landford  and  on  the  east  by  the  tything 
of  West  Wellow  in  the  county  of  Hants.  At  the  time  of  the 
general  survey  Platford  was  held  by  Edmund  a  Saxon  noble,  in 
chief  from  the  Crown.  In  the  reign  of  Edward  the  Confessor  it 
was  the  property  of  Algar  and  was  assessed  at  a  yard-land. 
"Here  (says  the  record)  is  half  a  plough  land  with  two  borderers 
and  two  cottagers.  The  mill  pays  lo  shillings.  The  wood  is 
three  furlongs  in  length  and  one  broad.  The  same  Edmund  holds 
one  yard-'nnd,  in  which  he  has  half  a  plough-land  and  four  bor- 
derers and  two  cottagers."  These  two  estates  together  are  worth 
forty  shillings.  In  the  3"*  Edward  I  John  de  Grims,  tead  of  West 
Grimsted  held  the  manor  of  Plaitford  of  the  Crown  by  the 
serjeantry  of  having  the  custody  of  the  royal  park  of  Melchet 
and  by  paying  eleven  shillings  to  the  king  through  the  bailiff  of 
Clarendon.  From  this  period  Plaitford  is  included  in  the  numer- 
ous inquisitions  taken  of  the  members  of  that  distinguished 
family. 

In  22°*  Ed.  Ill  it  was  assigned  as  the  dower  of  Eleanor  wife  of 
Adam  de  Grimstead  and  on  the  death  of  her  son  John  without 
issue  in  1363  it  descended  to  Reginald  Perrot  the  son  of  Isabella 
de  Grimsted  his  aunt.  He  died  seised  of  Plaitford.  in  1371  when 
it  became  in  part  the  dower  of  his  widow  Beatrix  and  in  1391 
(13"'  Richd.  II)  Ralph  Perrot  his  son  surrendered  Plaitford  to 
John  Earl  of  Huntingdon.     Eight  years  afterwards  Sir  John  de

Bettesthorne  died  seised  of  the  manor:  but  it  would  seem  that 
Reginald  Perrot  was  afterwards  in  possession  as  he  passed  it  with 
other  lands  by  a  fine  to  Sir  John  Berkeley,  the  husband  of  Eliza- 
beth daughter  of  Sir  John  de  Bettesthorne  —  Catherine  Berkeley 
the  great-granddaughter  of  Sir  John  having  married  Sir  John 
Brereton  Knt.  left  an  only  daughter  Wybergha  the  wife  of  Sir 
W"  Compton  of  Compton  VVinyates,  Co.  Warwick,  Knt.  who 
through  her  became  possessed  of  this  property  and  died  seised  of 
it  in  1528.  It  continued  in  his  descendants  until  about  1680 
when  Richard  Compton  of  Bisterne,  Co.  Hants,  Esq  sold  the 
manor  and  principal  estate  to  Sir  Stephen  Fox,  Knt.  There  are 
in  the  parish  about  1460  acres  the  principal  part  of  which  com- 
prising a  farm  of  nearly  300  acres  considerable  wood  lands  and 
other  properties  leased  out  for  lives  belongs  to  the  Earl  of 
Ilchester."     (Hoare's  Wiltshire.)

of  which  marriage  it  was  agreed  that  the  said  John  Welshman 
should  have  with  his  wief  three  score  pounds."  This  sum  was 
never  paid  and  the  plaintiffs  maintain  that  the  estate  of  tht  late 
Cecilia  Venne  (who  died  *'  about  a  year  sythens  appointing  one 
Henry  Prinn  executor  under  her  will ")  is  indebted  to  them  in  that

her  mother  the  said  Cecilia  in  the  penall  sum  of  j^^o.  This 
was  intended  so  they  told  her  to  secure  her  against  her  husband 
(Welshman)  should  he  not  treat  her  well,  but  if  he  acted  badly  to 
be  put  in  force  against  him.  Alice  in  her  youthful  innocence 
trusted  them  in  the  matter  and  signed  without  understanding  the 
effect  of  her  action.  Alice  had  been  the  wife  of  Welshman  two 
years  and  no  demand  was  made  on  account  of  the  bond  during 
that  time  nor  after  his  death  during  her  widowhood.  But  since  her

To  the  right  honorable  the  Commissioners  for  the  custody  of  the 
greate  seale  of  England. 

"  Jn  all  humble  manner  complayninge  sheweth  that  your  orator 
George  Upham  of  Wiveliscombe  in  the  county  of  Somerset,  yeo- 
man &c."  The  substance  of  this  complaint  is  that  one  Joseph 
Hunt  of  Braunton  in  Co  Devon  yeoman  "  three  yeares  last  past  " 
owned  a  house  and  "some  four  score"  acres  of  land  pasture  &c. 
in  the  parish  of  Wiveliscombe  and  as  he  lived  40  or  50  miles  away 
from  it  and  "  beinge  a  very  sicke  man  at  that  tyme  and  by  reason 
of  the  troubles  then  beinge  in  the  kingdome  no  man  was  able 
to  travel  quietlie,  or  in  peace  to  abide  att  home  "  the  said  Hunt 
had  the  house  and  ground  on  his  hands  tenantless  and  getting  jut 
of  repair  so  Ann  Hunt  his  wife  by  the  direction  and  appointment 
of  the  said  Joseph  went  to  Geo.  Upham  being  a  near  kinsman  of 
the  said  Joseph  Hunt  and  earnestly  entreated  him  to  get  a  good 
tenant  and  lease  the  property  and  if  unable  to  find  a  tenant  that 
he  would  look  after  it,  repair  the  house  make  the  best  of  the  land, 
take  down  trees  for  making  and  mending  of  gates  and  barr  posts 
and  make  the  best  of  the  woods  furze  and  broom  growing  there- 
upon and  pay  the  great  taxes  and  that  whatever  he  disbursed 
should  be  paid  him  again.  All  this  George  Upham  undertook 
"  uppon  the  entreatie  soe  made  by  the  sayd  Ann  with  the  consent 
and  approbation  of  her  husband  the  said  Joseph."  He  tried  to 
get  a  tenant  but  "  noe  man  would  deale  or  meddle  therein  by 
reason  of  the  tymes."  Upon  which  G.  Upham  took  possession  of 
the  house  and  land  made  all  needful  repairs  "  tooke  downe  one 
timber  tree  for  the  doinge  thereof  "  paid  the  rates  and  taxes  dis- 
charged the  quarteringe  of  soldiers  and  expended  of  his  own 
money  some  six  or  seven  pounds  more  than  he  made  out  of  the 
place.     G.  Upham  asserts  that  notwithstanding  all  his  trouble

taken  when  "  noe  man  would  meddle  therein "  the  said  Joseph 

Hunt  hath  in  a  most manner  commenced  an  action  against 

him  for  entering  the  house,  treading  down  the  grass,  cutting  down 
timber  &c.  The  said  J.  Hunt  pursuing  his  action  with  all  violence 
and  extremity  and  refusing  to  come  to  any  account  with  the 
compl'  for  the  money  that  he  had  disbursed  or  any  part  thereof 
"  contrarie  to  all  righte  equitie  and  good  conscience."  He  ac- 
knowledges that  he  has  no  evidence  to  prove  that  the  said  Joseph 
Hunt  gave  such  directions  to  his  wife  except  the  confession  and 
acknowledgment  of  the  said  J.  Hunt  made  to  him  in  private  with- 
out calling  witness  thereto,  but  hopes  that  the  said  Joseph  and 
Ann  Hunt  will  upon  their  several  oaths  speak  nothmg  but  the 
truth.  He  prays  for  his  majestys  most  gracious  writ  of  subpoena 
to  be  directed  to  the  said  defendants  commanding  them  and  any 
of  them  to  appear  at  a  certain  day  &c  before  the  hon.  High  Court 
of  Chancery  and  thereupon  to  answer  to  all  and  singular  the 
premises  &c  and  to  stand  and  abide  by  any  further  order  and 
direction  therein. 


June  1648.     The  Answer  &c  of  Joseph  Hunt  and  Ann  his  wife 
Def*"  to  the  bill  of  Comp^  of  Geo  Upham  Comp* 

"  About  three  yeares  sythens  "  M"  Winefrid  Upham  mother  of 
the  defendant  Ann  died.  After  whose  decease  the  house  and 
lands  in  the  said  bill  of  Compl'  named  came  into  the  possession 
of  the  defendant  Joseph  Hunt.  Shortly  after  Ann  Hunt  with 
consent  of  her  husband  demised  the  said  house  and  land  to  one 
John  Tutbole  of  Wivlescombe  Co  Somerset,  husbandman  he  pay- 
ing Jos.  Hunt  4s.  per  week  while  in  possession.  H?  goes  on  to 
state  that  after  5^  years  Tutbole  left  without  notice  and  gave  the 
keys  to  Upham  the  complainant  who  thereupon  entered  and  took 
possession  without  the  consent  or  knowledge  of  the  defendants. 
When  the  latter  heard  of  it  Ann  Hunt  with  approval  of  her  hus- 
band went  to  Wivlescombe  to  see  Upham  entered  the  premises 
and  demanded  possession  on  behalf  of  her  husband  but  the  compl' 
knowing  that  Hunt  was  sick  and  unable  to  travel,  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  latter's  distance  from  the  house  and  lands  and  the  un- 
happy state  of  the  Kingdom  refused  to  yield  possession,  and  had 
received  the  profits  for  one  year  value  j£io  and  carried  away 
wood  and  growing  timber  value  j£to.  Thereupon  the  defend  nts 
took  action  in  H.  M.  Court  of  Common  Pleas  at  Westminster 
against  the  compl"  to  recover  &c.  The  def*"  swears  to  the  truth 
of  their  statements  and  prays  to  be  delivered  out  of  the  bill  with 
all  reasonable  costs  &c.        Dated  13  Feb.  1638.

such  moneys  as  should  be  collected  and  received  from  the  charitable 
benevolence  of  his  majestys  subjects  within  the  countyesof  Surrey, 
Sussex,  Middlesex,  Kent,  Essex,  Norfolk,  Suffolk,  Gloucester, 
Worcestershire,  Oxford,  Bucks  and  Herefordshire  and  inallcityes, 
townes,  corporate  boroughs,  parishes  chapelries,  townes  villages  and 
hamlets  within  the  said  counties  and  not  elsewhere  —  and  whereas 
the  said  Samuel  Taner,  Richard  Lee  and  W"  Sanford  by  virtue  of 
this  power  and  authority  for  as  aforesaid  to  them  given  did  by  the 
several  writeings  under  their  handes  and  sealcs  constitute  authorise 
and  appoint  y'  orator  the  said  James  Upham  the  elder  and  the 
said  James  Upham  the  younger  and  their  assigns  uti  behalfe  of 
the  poore  sufferers  to  bo  collectors  of  the  same."  The  complain- 
ant states  also  that  he  together  with  James  Upham  the  younger, 
Leonard  ffarmer,  Henry  Cannington  and  Aquilla  Upham  as  sure- 
ties for  the  said  complainant  became  bound  to  the  said  Samuel 
Tanner,  Richard  Lee  and  W"  Sanford,  in  a  bond  or  obligation 
for  the  sum  of  one  thousand  two  hundred  pounds  with  condition 
to  render  to  the  said  treasurers  a  just  account  of  the  money  col- 
lected and  to  give  acquittances  for  such.  And  shortly  after  the 
complainant  with  James  Upham  the  younger  who  was  then  a 
minor  proceeded  to  collect  the  charitable  benevolences  upon  the 
authority  aforei,iid.  According  to  a  contract  made  betweene  the 
complainant  and  the  treasures  he  was  to  have  thirtene  pence  for 
"  every  brief e  which  they  should  lay  disperse  and  gather  "  out  of 
every  parish  church  or  chapel  within  the  aforesaid  places,"  the 
said  sum  being  also  in  consideration  of  their  "  travel  payaes  and 
expenses  in  and  about  the  same."  The  compl'  says  that  he  and 
his  son  were  very  industrious  and  used  all  possible  diligence  therein 
to  perform  the  trust  in  them  reposed  and  did  "  lay  and  disperse 
near  three  thousand  briefes  within  the  lymitts  aforesaid,  and  under 
the  conditions  he  was  to  render  his  account  on  or  before  the  20"* 
June  now  last  past  but  by  reason  of  the  great  snow  and  unseason- 
able weather  the  previous  winter  he  had  been  able  to  collect  little 
by  that  time  so  that  he  was  unable  to  punctually  perform  the  con- 
dition of  the  bond  in  this  particular —  moreover  his  hopeful  son 
James  Upham  the  younger  had  disappeared  and  the  complainant 
had  heard  nothing  of  him  for  months  by  which  the  compl*  is  pre- 
vented from  furnishing  an  account  of  his  son's  transactions  and 
the  former  knows  not  where  he  is.  The  compl'  states  that  he  had 
collected  about  ;^5o  besides  his  deductions  and  allowances  and 
rendered  his  account  paying  in  the  sum  of  ;^ioo  to  the  treasures 
but  the  latter  refused  to  accept  his  account  and  put  the  bond  in 
force  against  him  and  he  was  arrested  and  "  remayns  a  prisoner

in  the  sheriffs  ward  for  the  said  countie  of  Devon  att  the  said  of 
the  said  Samuel  Tanner,  Richard  Lee  and  W"  Sanford  for  the 
said  sum  of  one  thousand  and  two  hundred  poundes."  He  com- 
plains that  he  is  by  this  prevented  from  following  his  employment 
and  obstructed  from  finishing  the  collections  and  "  the  rest  of  the 
orators  are  like  to  be  utterly  undone  and  ruined  by  the.strict  rules 
of  the  com -on  !awe  (there  being  sev'ral  process'^s  issued  against 
them  the  said  I<eonard  fTarmer,  Henry  Cannington,  and  Aquilla 
Upham  in  regard  to  the  said  bond)  He  further  states  that  the 
said  W"  Sanford  who  acted  for  the  rest  refused  to  accept  his 
account  unless  he  could  produce  and  bring  all  the  briefs  from 
every  parish  within  the  said  limits  which  the  conit>l*  says  i  alto- 
gether impossible  seeing  that  many  refused  to  give  them  back  and 
as  the  fire  at  Topsham  was  very  inconsiderable  "  divers  ministers 
and  wardens  did  charge  y'  said  orator  James  Upham  the  elder  to 
bee  a  cheate  and  alarmed  that  he  went  aboute  to  coi  !  the 
country  "  and  some  threatened  to  burn  the  briefs,  others  •  i;u  i  ley 
had  lost  them.  Moreover  there  were  briefs  for  the  >  iwnc  of 
Northampton  Cottingham,  Co  Cambridge  and  Southwark  whose 
losses  were  considerable  and  the  people  gave  largely  so  that  this 
of  Topsham  (being  but  a  few  ragged  houses)  did  not  excite  their 
compassion  although  the  compl'  says  that  his  trouble  and  labor  in 
collecting  was  increased  by  the  opposition  he  met  with.  The  compl' 
furthermore  states  :  that  the  losses  by  the  fire  at  Topsham  we  i  e  not  a 
third  of  the  amount  asserted  and  that  most  of  the  sufferers  were 
well  able  to  bear  it:  that  the  adjacent  and  neighboring  parishes 
contributed  little  or  nothing  because  they  were  better  informed 
than  those  who  lived  remote  from  it:  that  in  particular  the  parish 
of  ffarringdon  being  two  or  three  miles  from  Topsham  "  where  the 
said  Samuel  Tanner,  dwells  and  is  a  parishioner  "  gave  not  so 
much  as  one  penny  towards  the  said  losses.  Nevertheless  the  said 
Samuel  Tanner  with  the  other  treasurers  of  ',';►'  said  fund  twice 
sued  arressted  and  imprisoned  thecomplainiu.v  upon  the  accounts 
aforesaid.  The  compl'  to  the  end  that  he  may  have  redress 
according  to  equity  prays  for  a  writ  directing  the  defendants  to 
appear  and  upon  their  oaths  to  answer  '■:■  the  premises  and  await 
the  direction  of  the  court,  and  in  particular  to  state  how  many 
persons  and  who  in  particular  sustained  loss  by  the  said  fire  and 
whether  such  w<  re  really  poor  and  whether  it  was  not  rather  a 
confederacy  and  combination  between  one  Richard  Showers  of 
Topsham  (who  sustained  some  small  loss  by  the  fire)  and  others 
of  the  pretended  sufferers  to  reap  advantage  by  the  public  benev- 
olence than  for  any  real  need  or  necessity  &c.    Also  asks  for  writ

the  defendants  have  made  answer  &c. 

The  joint  and  severaii  answers  of  Samuell 
Taner,  Richard  Lee  and  W"  Sanford  Esq"  Defts 
to  the  Bill  of  Compl'  of  James  Upham  the  elder, 
Leonard  Farmer,  henry  Cannington  and  Acquilla  Upham 
Complainants. 
"The  said  defendants  saying  to  themselves  now  and  at  all  times  here- 
after all  advantage  of  excep-con  &c."   They  acknowledge  that  on 
4*""  Nov.  in  the  27"'  year  of  H.  M.  reign  letters  patent  were  granted 
"to  Richard  Shower,  William   Cawood  Gilbert   Mogridge,  Geo 
Launder,  Robert  Pym,  Joan  Westlake  and  Elizabeth  Knight  poore 
sufferers  and  inhabitants  of  the  town  and  post  of  Topsham  to  collect 
within  the  counties  of  Devon,  Cornwall,  Somerset,  Dorset,  Wilts, 
Southampton  Surrey,  Sussex,  Middlesex,  Kent,  Essex,  Norfolk,  Suf-

the  said  citie,  and  not  elsewhere" — Dated  24*''  Dec.  27"*  year&c. 
The  defendants  say:  that  they  believe  James  Upham  knows  where 
his  son  is  and  that  the  latter  is  staying  away  to  form  an  excuse 
that  the  compl'  James  Upham  has  collected  much  more  than  he 
has  accounted  for  and  appropriated  it  to  his  own  usf.. 

They  state  that  the  loss  sustained  by  the  aforesaid  poor  sufferers 
and  inhabitants  of  Topsham  was  ;^is67-5-3.  They  acknowledge 
that  James  Upham  was  a  prisoner  in  the  sheriffs  ward  upon  their 
suit  and  since  by  Habeas  Corpus  has  been  removed  to  the  "  ffleete  " 
where  they  believe  he  still  remaineth  a  prisoner.  The  said  def* 
also  assert  that  they  are  very  desirous  and  willing  that  he  should 
be  released  and  will  not  insist  upon  the  non-compliance  with  the 
days  and  times  mentioned  on  the  bond,  upon  his  giving  them  a 
fair  and  just  account  of  what  he  and  the  other  complainants 
Acquilla  Upham  and  James  Upham  the  younger  have  received 
and  giving  good  security  for  the  uses  aforesaid  and  paying  such 
costs  and  expenses  as  the  poor  sufferers  have  been  put  to,  in  sue- 
ing  and  prosecuting  the  said  complainants  "  which  have  been  very 
considerable  both  in  t'as  honorable  court  and  at  the  common  law 
&c.  They  pray  to  be  dismissed  with  all  reasonable  costs  and 
charges  for  veracOn  in  this  behalf  most  wrongfully  susteyned."

part,  ^o:- Upham  v. 


To  the  Right  Hon"*  Thomas  Lord  Coventry  Lord  Keeper  of  the 

great  Seale  of  England. 
9*^  July  1638. 

"  Humblie  complayninge  sheweth  &c."  The  complainant 
Margaret  Upham  of  Wivlescombe,  Co  Somerset  widow  states  that 
thirty  years  since  there  was  a  tre:.ty  of  marriage  between  Thomas 
Hewes  of  Laurance  Lydeard  in  said  county  yeoman  and  one 
Joane  Smyth  widow  who  had  a  lif  interest  in  a  messuage  tene- 
nent  and  certain  lands  in  Tolland  and  Laurance  Lideard  Co 
Somerset  valued  at  ;^3o  per  annum,  the  said  Thomas  Hewes  be- 
ing also  seised  of  a  copyhold  tenement  in  Laurance  Lideard 
valued  at  ;^2o  per  an.  and  by  custom  of  the  manor  Tho  Hewes' 
wife  would  have  her  widows  estate  in  the  said  copyhold  on  the 
death  of  her  husband.  Thos  Hewes  married  Joane  Smyth  and 
then  resolving  to  defraud  his  wife  of  her  widows  estate  and  make 
void  his  marriage  agreement  yielded  up  his  estate  in  Laurance 
Lideard  to  the  lord  of  the  manor  and  retook  the  same  to  John 
Hewes  his  son  now  deceased.  After  some  disputes  Joan  Hewes 
went  to  her  friends  and  relatives  and  they  endeavoured  to  get 
Thomas  Hewes  to  make  over  to  trustees  the  property  he  held  in 
right  of  his  wife,  for  the  benefit  of  her  children.  Joane  consulted 
her  brother  Henry  Rew  and  her  brother-in-law  John  Upham  the 
husband  of  the  complainant  and  told  them  she  had  chosen  them 
to  hold  the  lands  and  tenement  in  trust  on  behalf  of  her  and  her 
children  They  consented  on  her  importunity  and  it  was  decided 
that  this  would  make  peace  in  the  Hewes  family  —  So  Thomas 
Hewes  about  May  47*''  year  James  L  by  indenture  made  between 
the  said  Thomas  Hewes  of  the  one  part  and  Henry  Rew  and  John 
Upham  of  the  other  part  demise  grant  &c  to  the  said  Henry  Rew 
and  John  Upham  all  that  messuage  tenement  with  garden  orchard, 
meadows  &  pasture  thereto  belonging  in  the  parish  of  Tolland  and 
Laurence  Hideard  aforesaid  for  30  years  thenceforth  at  a  yearly 
rent  of  ;^io.  Henry  Rew  and  John  Upham  became  parties  to  a 
bond  of  value  jC^oo  for  the  true  performance  of  the  terms  of  the 
said  indenture.  Neither  J.  Upham  nor  H.  Rew  ever  held  the 
property  by  virtue  of  the  said  lease  but  allowed  Joane  Hewes  to 
keep  possession  and  Joane  regularly  paid  the  rent  to  her  husband 
until  about  4  years  before  the  death  of  Thomas  Hewes  (which 
occurred  about  1633)  when  there  was  some  j£4  owing  and  a  new

agreement  was  entered  into  whereby  Thomas  Hewes  was  content 
to  receive  ;^6-i3-4  as  rent  from  thenceforward  as  she  had  *'  a 
great  charge  of  children  to  witte  seven  by  one  John  Smyth  her 
former  husband  and  five  by  the  said  Thomas  Hewes."  Joane 
Hewes  never  made  any  demands  upon  the  trustee  John  Upham 
and  Henry  Rew  in  their  lifetime  well  knowing  that  nothing  was 
done,  but  since  the  death  of  Thomas  Hewes  his  son  and  his  execu- 
tor having  obtained  the  bond  put  it  in  execution  at  the  common 
lawe  against  the  complainant  Margaret  Upham  she  being  executor 
of  her  late  husband  John  Upham  and  reeks  to  recover  the  whole 
forfieture  thereof  contrary  to  all  equity  and  good  conscience. 
Complainant  prays  for  a  writ  of  Injunction  directed  to  the  said 
John  Hewes  enjoyning  his  presence  to  answer  upon  oath  &c.

"To  the  most  Reverend  ffather  in  God,  Thoi<ias,  lorde  legat 
Cardenall  Archebyschoppe  of  Yorke  &  chauncellor  of  Englond 

In  most  humble  wise  compleyninge  sheweth  &c.  that  yo'  orator

continued 

"  The  Annswer  of  John  Al)bott  to  the  bill  of  complaynt  of 
William  Uphome  and  Johan  his  wife. 

"  The  saide  John  Abbott  saith  that  the  said  bille  of  complaynt 
is  uncertain  and  insufficient  to  be  answered  and  the  matters  therein 
contained  seyured  of  untrouth  &c  and  are  determinable  by  the 
com-onlawe."  Nevertheless  as  he  is  compelled  to  make  answer 
to  the  premises  for  declaration  of  the  truth,  thereupon  he  saith  : 
that  one  John  Snowdon  was  seased  of  alle  the  premises  and  lands 
in  question  in  his  demeane  as  of  fee  and  being  so  seased  gave  all 
the  said  premises  and  lands  to  one  John  Patya  and  Isabell  his  wif 
daughter  of  the  said  John  Snowdon  for  the  lyves  of  the  said  John 
Patya  and  Isabell  with  remainder  on  their  deaths  to  one  Thomas 
Patya  son  and  heire  of  the  said  John  Patya  and  to  Johan  his  wif 
and  to  the  heires  of  the  body  of  the  said  Thomas  Patya  and  Johan 
lawfully  begotten  with  remainder  to  the  righte  heires  of  the  said 
John  Patya.  On  the  death  of  John  Patya  the  said  Thomas  and 
Johan  Patya  entered  into  possession  and  were  seased  of  the 
premises  and  appurtenances  and  were  lawfully  seased  of  the  same 
as  of  freehold  and  had  Isabell  a  daughter  of  theire  bodye  lawfully 
begotten  and  Thomas  Patya  and  Johan  his  wife  died  so  seased. 
On  whose  death  said  landes  pasture  and  meddow  with  the  appur- 
tenances specified  in  the  said  bill  of  complaynt  rightly  descended 
to  the  said  John  Abbott  as  cosen  and  heire  of  the  bodye  of  the 
said  Thomas  Patya  and  Johan  his  wif  this  is  to  wete  as  son  of 
Agnes  daughter  of  the  said  Jsabell  daughter  and  heire  of  the  said 
Thomas  Patya  and  Johan  his  wif.  In  which  case  all  documents

said by  reason  whereof  he  doth  retayne  and  kepe  the  same  as 
lauful  ys  for  hym  to  do  &c."  He  denies  that  Thomas  Pape 
named  in  the  bill  was  ever  seased  of  any  such  property  or  that  the 
lands  in  question  ever  descended  to  Johan  wife  of  William  Up- 
home  the  complainant  as  daughter  of  the  said  Thomas  Pape  named 
in  the  bill,  and  prays  to  be  delivered  out  of  the  said  bill  with  all 
reasonable  costs  &c.

BisHOPS  Transcripts. 

These  records  are  the  result  of  an  enactment  passed  in  1603, 
"  that  the  churchwardens  shall  within  one  month  after  the  25"*  of 
March  in  each  year  transmit  to  the  Bishop  of  the  Diocese,  or  his 
Chancellor,  a  true  copy  from  the  Register  Book  for  the  year  then 
ended;  and  that  failing  to  do  so  the  Bishop  or  his  Chancellor  may 
proceed  against  them  at  law."  If  this  had  been  rigidly  enforced 
and  the  transcript  preserved  from  damp  and  neglect,  we  should 
possess  a  most  valuable  series  of  records  which  would  supply  de- 
tails where  the  original  register  is  lost  or  mutilated  by  fire,  damp 
&c.  Unfortunately  however  this  rule  was  very  loosely  observed, 
and  those  sent  in  did  not  receive  the  care  their  value  demanded, 
but  were  skewered  together  in  bundles  and  left  to  rot  with  damp 
dust  and  neglect.  The  subjoined  is  the  result  of  a  careful  exami- 
nation of  those  sent  in  from  parishes  in  the  Archdeaconry  of  Exc 
ter  which  has  suffered  more  than  the  other  archdeaconries  in  the 
way  of  mildewed  decay  and  many  years  are  altogether  absent.

'  .jThis  completes  the  result  of  our  search  from  the  earliest  date 
down  to  the  commencement  of  the  present  century.  The  later  years 
ought  to  have  been  more  productive  of  names,  but  the  date  is  no 
index  to  their  condition,  and  bundles  are  missing  some  of  which 
may  possibly  be  found  among  those  of  the  other  archdeaconries 
when  they  are  set  in  order.  In  the  absence  of  an  exhaustive  gen- 
ealogy of  the  Uphams  of  Devon,  these  items  are  of  value  and 
utility  in  indicating  parishes  which  have  been  inhabited  by  Uphams 
and  whose  records  probably  contain  further  details  of  the  family.

A  work  entitled  "  Parochial  Antiquities  "  by  White  Kennett, 
D.  D.  Clarendon  Press,  1818,  Voi.  II,  p.  332,  has  the  following: 

An  MCCCCXL. 

"  Richard  Marmyon  ot  Stoke  Marmyon  com  Oxon.  Confirmed 
to  Edmund  Rede,  son  and  heir  of  Edmund  Rede  and  Agnes  his 
wife,  a  moiety  of  the  manors  of  Stoke-Marmyon,  com  Oxon,  with

In  the  Consistorial  Court  Records  preserved  in  Exeter  Cathe- 
dral in  the  case  of  Peankette  v.  Kennicke  the  testimony  taken  8 
Dec.  1676,  is  entered  of  Roger  I',  ham  of  Cadbury  Co.  Devon 
Yeoman  aged  43  who  stated  that  I'  vas  sent  for  by  one  Richard 
Marshall,  to  bring  writing  material.',  fc  '  take  down  his  will.  Roger 
Upham  went  as  desired  and  found  Marshall  in  declining  health, 
the  latter  requesting  him  to  come  again  as  his  wife  was  about,  and 
the  occasion  was  unfavourable.  Upham  called  some  days  after, 
and  finding  Marshall  in  his  garden,  the  latter  informed  him  that 
"  he  was  afraid  he  should  scarce  have  an  opportunity  to  make  a 
will  in  writing,  his  wife  was  so  averse  to  it  and  therefore  he  would 
declare  his  will  by  word  of  mouth  .0  this  deponent  and  then  forth- 
with declared  to  this  deponent  that  he  did  give  to  the  poor  of 
Cadbury  tenne  pounds  to  remaine  to  iliem  forever,  the  interest  to 
be  distributed  to  them  in  bread,  ^10  for  his  funeral  and  all  y* 
rest  of  his  goods  and  chattels  he  gave  and  bequeathed  among  his 
wife  and  children,  appoyntinge  Lawrence  Marshall  of  Rockley, 
Pomeroy,  and  Thomas  Marshall  of  T  "irton,  his  executors  in  trust, 
and  he  declared  to  this  deponent  very  seriously  beinge  of  p-fect 
mind  and  memory,  and  with  an  intent  as  this  deponent  believes.

that  y*  same  should  stand  for  his  last  will  and  testament  nuncu- 
pative and  the  testator  desired  the  deponent  to  take  notice  of  it 
and  to  use  his  best  endeavours  that  the  same  might  be  performed. 
This  witness  Roger  Upham  beinge  worth  about  ^loo  came  to 
give  his  evidence  in  this  cause  being  first  summoned  to  this  effect 
by  a  decree  issued  out  of  this  court. 

In  another  case  that  of  Major  v.  Bradford,  William  Dilling  of 
Otterton,  Devon,  yeoman  ag<;d  69,  giving  evidence  26  Sept  1676 
deposed  that  he  knew  James  Bradford  deceased  sometime  \  icar 
of  Cadbury  for  about  39  years  before  his  decease  and  was  parish 
clerk  of  Bicton  where  M""  W"  Bradford  was  and  still  is  rector  for 
almost  twenty  years  next  before  the  death  of  the  said  James  Brad- 
ford with  whom  the  deponent  affirms  he  was  intimate  and  well 
acquainted  with  his  handwriting  and  hesaith  that  all  or  the  greater 
part  of  the  "little  booke  "  in  this  cause  exhibited  upon  which  he 
IS  now  examined  was  written  by  the  said  James  Bradford  and  that 
the  letters  R.  U.  herein  mentioned  at  y*  place  alleged  doe  signify 
and  stand  for  the  name  of  Roger,  Robert  or  Richard  Upham 
alleged  and  this  dep'  believes  that  by  what  is  sett  down  and  ex- 
pressed in  the  said  booke  next  after  the  said  letters  viz.  a  mor- 
tuary ph.,  amongst  other  things  is  signified  and  meant  that  the 
sum  of  x\;ii<l.  was  demanded  and  received  by  him  the  said 
M'  Jam>;s  ilfuiord  from  y"  said  Uuham  a  parishioner  of  Cadbury 
for  a  m-' .  *i..n¥  on  the  decease  of  his  mother  or  other  relation  dying 
in  tho  J.iu  I /.iiish."  Other  witnesses  followed  with  evidence  to 
sliow  thar  Mk-  iaid  letters  did  not  have  the  meaning  attributed  to 
them  and  tiiut  "mortuary"  the  olden  custom  of  paying  a  fee  to 
the  clergyman  on  the  death  of  a  parishioner  had  not  existed.

Upham  Genealogy. 


There  are  no  Upham  wills  to  be  fotind  at  the  Bristol  Probate 
Registry  between  1572  and  1857,  unless  the  following  be  one, 
indexed  thus: 

Jacobus  Upjom  1732. 
On  the  outside  of  the  document  is  written  "  Will  of  James  Upjohn, 
gone  to  Guinea  in  the '  Indian  Queen  "     It  is  a  short  will  bequeath- 
ing all  his  property  to  his  loving  friend  James  Williams. 
Witnesses:  Signature:  James  Upiom 

Benj.  Morgan.  red  wax  seal:  A  dragon  passant. 

Wm  Comden. 

Adam  Batty. 

Burke  gives  Upjon.  arms:  Saa  f ess  or  between  three  lions  heads 
erased  ppr.  crest,  a  stork  ppr.  It  may  be  useful  to  note  this  for 
comparison  in  case  any  arms  should  be  found  used  by  early 
Uphams. 

A  Robert  Upham  was  a  juryman  on  the  trial  of  the  Earl  of 
Cambridge  3  Hen  V.  (Index  to  Rolls  of  Parliament  by  Pridden 
Strachan  &  Upham  IV,  65  b). 


MEMORANDA: 

Upham,  Co.  Wilts,  has  been  spelt  Uppenham  (See  Berkshire 
Visitation  1566,  re-marriage  of  John  Goddarde  of  Uppenham,  Co. 
Wilts,  Gentleman,  etc.)  It  seems  that  Uffenham  —  several  times 
mentioned  —  is  an  easy  transition  from  Uppenham. 

The  name  Peter  Jarmond  Upham  is  found  in  a  list  of  masters 
and  mates  having  certificates  of  competency  in  the  British  Mer- 
cantile Navy  List,  1858.

UPHAM,  OF  BICTON.  CO.  DEVON. 


The  Upham  family  held  a  copyhold  estate  at  *Yettington,  in 
the  parish  of  Bicton,  Devon,  and  were  associated  with  the  parish 
for  upwards  of  three  hundred  years.  The  first  of  the  name  at  Bic- 
ton  that  we  have  found  mentioned,  Richard  Uphome  (sic)  of  Bykton, 
died  there  in  1546;  but  although  in  1791  their  copyhold  fell  into 
the  hands  of  the  then  lord  of  the  manor  —  John,  afterwards 
Baron  Rolle  —  and  most  of  the  family  had  by  that  time  left  Bicton, 
one  branch  yet  remained,  the  last  survivor  of  which,  Frances, 
daughter  of  Richard  and  Martha  Upham,  died  there  in  1842. 

Bicton  is  a  parish  four  miles  south  west  of  Sidmouth  station,  on 
the  South  Western  Railway,  and  1 1  miles  south  east  of  Exeter, 
in'the  eastern  division  of  the  county  of  Devon,  hundred  of  East 
Budleigh,  petty  sessional  division  of  Woodbury,  union  of  St. 
Thomas',  Exeter  County  Court  District,  rural  deanery  of  Ayles- 
beare,  and  archdeaconry  and  diocese  of  Exeter.  It  is  beautifully 
situated  on  the  banks  of  the  river  Otter,  and  near  the  sea  coast. 
It  includes  the  hamlet  of  Yettington.  Population  181  in  1871, 
165  in  1881,  living  in  32  houses,  on  1294  acres  of  land.  The  soil 
is  sand,  subsoil  sand  and  gravel.  The  crops  are  wheat,  barley 
and  roots. 

At  the  time  of  the  Norman  Survey  the  manor  of  Bicton  was 
held  by  the  singular  tenure  of  providing  a  county  jail,  which  tenure 
was  abolished  by  act  of  Parliament  in  1787.  "  The  possessor  of 
the  manor  at  Doomsday  survey  was  William  Portiter.  King 
Henry  I  gave  it  to  John  Janitor.  It  continued  in  his  family  for 
three  generations.  The  manor  was  afterwards  the  property  of 
Ralph  Balistarius,  or  Le  Balister  (the  crossbow-bearer),  who  lived 
here  in  1229.  His  posterity,  by  name  Alabaster,  possessed  Bicton 
for  five  generations,  after  which  it  passed  by  successive  female 
heirs  to  Sachville  and  Copleston.  It  was  purchased  of  the 
Coplestons  by  Sir  Robert  Dennis,  who  rebuilt  the  old  mansion, 
inclosed  a  deer-park  and  made  Bicton  his  chief  residence.  Sir 
Thomas  Dennis,  his  son,  gave  it  to  his  eldest  daughter  Ann,  who 
became  the  wife  of  Sir  Henry  Rolle,  ancestor  of   the  Right  Hon.

Henry  Lord  Rolle,  who  is  the  present  (i 8a a)  proprietor."  (Lysons 
Magn.  Brit.  vol.  VI.)  The  present  (1893)  owner  is  the  Hon. 
Mark  Geo.  Kerr  Rolle,  I).  T..,  I.  P.  Hicton  House  stands  in  a 
fine  park  of  74  acres,  well  timbered  and  containing  a  small  lake. 
The  gardens  are  celebrated  for  the  completeness  and  rarity  of  the 
trees,  shrubs  and  flowers  here  collected.  The  park  contains  a 
fine  avenue  of  oak,  beech  and  the  Chili  pine. 

The  old  church,  interesting  to  all  Uph<inis  of  Bicton  as  the 
centre  of  ancestral  associations,  the  scene  of  numerous  Upham 
baptisms,  marriages  and  burials,  generation  after  generation  (and 
among  others  of  the  baptisms  and  marriage  of  the  emigrant  John), 
is  now  in  ruins.  It  withstood  the  march  of  time,  but  fell  at  length 
before  the  relentless  hand  of  the  destroyer.  In  185 1  the  owner  of 
the  soil  had  a  difference  with  the  rector,  and  stopping  supplies, 
built  a  new  church  beside  the  old  one,  which  was  then  dismantled. 

Concerning  the  old  church,  Polwhele  our  Devon  historian, 
quaintly  remarks:  "  The  church  of  Bicton,  dedicated  to  the  Holy 
Trinity,  is  a  small  but  neat  building.  Its  situation  is  most  roman- 
tic. Placed  in  silence  and  solitude,  it  stands  embowered  amidst 
thp  fine  deep  foliage  of  forest  trees  that  surround  it  at  a  little  dis- 
tance and  interweave  their  branches  as  if  to  guard  it  from  every 
prying  eye.  Whilst  we  ajjproach  the  church  we  feel  sensations  of 
awe  from  its  holy  seclusion,  but  they  are  mixed  with  ideas  of  faery 
scenery.  The  spot  is  in  itself  most  delicious.  Thus  encircled  by 
such  a  beautiful  skreen  of  woods,  thus  insulated  and  far  withdrawn 
from  the  world,  we  fancy  ourselves  amidst  the  groves  of  Rousseau's 
Ermenonville,  and  recalling  his  fine  painting  to  memory,  can 
recognise,  almost,  its  prototype  in  the  objects  around  us."  (Col- 
lect. Hist.  Devon.  1797.  Richard  Polwhele  II.  323.) 

The  learned  antiquary  Oliver  does  not  seem  to  have  had  his 
feelings  so  deeply  stirred  as  did  the  author  of  the  foregoing.  His 
comment  is  brief  but  pointed:  "The  present  church  (1839),  dedi- 
cated I  believe  to  the  B.  V.  M.,  is  47  feet  and  a  half  in  length  by 
41  feet  in  its  greatest  breadth,  and  is  kept  in  excellent  repair,  but 
with  the  exception  of  the  E.  window  in  the  chancel,  has  little  to 
recommend  it  to  the  eye  of  the  antiquary.  The  W.  aisle  could 
not  have  been  part  of  the  original  fabrick."  (Oliver's  Eccles. 
Antiq.  Devon.  1839.) 

The  view  of  Bicton  church  is  from  a  rough  sketch  by  Mr.  J. 
W.  Upham,  artist,  and  represents  it  as  it  appeared  in  March,  1815. 
Though  the  old  church  was  given  over  to  destruction  on  the  com- 
pletion of  the  new  edifice  in  185 1,  it  is  but  just  to  say  that  the 
latter,  built  at  the  sole  expense  of  the  Dowager  Lady  Rolle,  is  very

[is 


tasteful  and  effective  in  design.  It  is  a  building  of  limestone,  in 
the  Early  Decorated  style,  consisting  of  chancel,  nave  transepts, 
south  porch  and  a  tower  on  the  south  side  with  a  low  spire,  con- 
taining one  bell.  There  are  thirteen  stained  windows,  and  the 
dripstones  of  the  windows  generally  are  ornamented  with  terminal 
heads  representing  the  English  monarchs  from  Edward  I  to  Queen 
Victoria.  The  corbels  supporting  the  springers  of  the  roof  have 
carved  heads  of  eighteen  distinguished  Anglican  theologians, 
beginning  with  John  Wyclif.  There  are  224  sittings.  A  portion 
of  the  ancient  church  is  used  as  a  mortuary  chapel,  and  a  cloister 
connects  it  with  the  tower,  which  is  also  standing. 

Yettington  is  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  Bicton  church.     We 
noticed  remains  of  a  village  preen  but  no  houses  that  betokened 
any  great  age.    A  fir  plantation  at  the  foot  of  a  hill  was  pointed 
out  to  as  going  by  the  name  of  "Upham's  plantation."

Z.  Richard  Uphome  (or  Uphom)  of  Bicton.  He  was  living 
at  Bicton  in  1523  and  died  there  in  1546.  In  Lay  Subsidy  Roll 
for  Devon,  i^r  year  Hen.  VIII.  we  find:  — 

"  Beketon,"  "  Richard  Uphome  sessed  at  the  subsody  for  his

The  records  of  the  Archdeaconry  Court,  Exeter  Probate  Regis-

the  wife  of  Richard  Uphom  of  Bykton  deceased,  to  administer 
the  estate  of  the  said  Richard  &c.  As  he  died  without  a  will 
our  information  concerning  his  immediate  family  is  not  so  com- 
plete as  it  might  be,  but  from  other  sources  we  conclude  that 
among  the  issue  of  this  Richard  were:  —  ,

Rowe,  (of  Kingston  in  Staverton  and  afterwards  of  Bearton  in  Broadhem-

Hen  VHI  took  the  name  of  Hussey  on  inheriting  the  estates  of  Hussey  of

Crest:  a  stags  head  issuant  gu.  attired  or.  It  seems  probable  therefore  that 
the  wife  of  the  Rev  Thomas  Upham  came  of  the  Kingston,  Devon  branch 
of  the  Rowes  of  Kent,  as  her  father  used  the  old  Devon  Rowe  arms,  with 
the  crest  of  the  Kentish  family.  In  Pulman's  "  Book  of  the  Axe,"  we  find 
that  Edward  Rowe  Junr  was  not  presented  to  the  Vicarage  of  Axmouth  im- 
mediately after  the  death  of  his  father  according  to  the  will  of  the  latter  but 
that  on  Nov  13'h  1706,  W">  England  was  presented.  Probably  Ed.  Rowe 
Jun'  was  not  fully  ordained,  for  England  seems  only  to  have  been  a  stop- 
gap, and  Edward  Rowe  was  appointed  (on  Englands  resignation)  Jan  31''

Inherited  the  Eatenton  property  by  Will  of  his  uncle 
Richard  who  died  without  issue,  1728. 
V  Thomas  of  Offwell,  Serge  manufacturer,  married  at 
Cotleigh  near  Honiton,  Devon,  29'*'  April  1735,  to 
Susanna  Warram  and  was  buried  at  Oflfwell  28"" 
March  1777.     He  was  frequently  called   upon  to 
serve  as  churchwarden  at  Offwell.     He  was  either 
overseer  or  churchwarden  in  1721,  1722,  1723,  1724, 
1732-34,   and   signed  allowing  the  churchwardens

again  in  1746.     We  find  him  assessed  for  poor  rate 
at  different   times  for  lands  called   Cherlands  or 
Chorlands,  Mayons  and  Raddons  but  a  portion  of 
the  last  two  seems  also  to  have   belonged  to  his 
brother  Joseph,  as  he  paid  part  of  the  poor  rate  on 
them.      In   the  churchwardens  disbursements  for 
1740  we  found:  —  "M'  Upom  for  his  printis  peter 
Dimond  j£4-"     M' Thomas  Upham  is  also  men- 
tioned in  a  "  List  of  the  estates  (as  it  comes  in  turn)

again  at  diflferent  times  until  1759.     (Extracted  from 
Parish    accounts,    Offwell    1732-1768).     His  wife

ern  District  of  China,  with  map  in  the  Oct.  issue  of 
Gent.  Mag.  for  1832,  was  subsequently  published  in 
separate  form.  Between  the  publication  of  these 
productions  he  was  engaged  upon  the  very  laborious 
task  of  completing  the  Index  to  the  Rolls  of  Parlia- 
ment which  had  been  left  unfinished  by  Rev.  Jno. 
Pridden  F.  S.  A.,  after  he  had  been  employed  on  it 
for  30  years.  M'  Upham  undertook  the  task  on 
M' Pridden 's  death  in  1821;  and  completed  it  in  1832. 
M'  Upham  died  at  Bath,  January  24*"  1834, 
probably  while  staying  with  his  brother  John.  In 
an  obituary  notice  in  the  Gentlemans  Magazine  it 
states  that  it  was  related  of  him  that  when  officiating 
in  his  mayoralty  on  the  bench  with  the  learned 
judges  of  the  circuit,  the  erudition  he  displayed  ex- 
cited their  astonishment.  After  speaking  of  his 
literary  labours  it  continues: —  "  It  is  a  matter  of 
deep  regret  to  all  who  had  the  pleasure  of  his  ac- 
quaintance that  his  literary  exertions  should  have 
been  trammelled  and  weakened  by  severe  mental 
and  corporeal  sufferings  for  many  years.  Calm  and 
placid  in  his  demeanour,  cheerful  in  the  company  of 
those  he  esteemed,  and  possessed  of  high  moral 
rectitude,  a  genuine  philanthropy,  and  a  truly 
Christian  piety,  he  was  respected  while  living,  and 
now  will  be  much  regretted."  His  Will  was  proved 
March  1834  in  the  Principal  Registry  Som.  Hse 
London.  He  bequeaths  ;^iSo  to  Janette  Thompson 
Upham.  Residue  to  brother  John  whom  he  makes 
executor.  See  Gent.  Mag.  (Obit.)  1834,  Atheneum,

And  now  the  thankful  heir 

This  humble  tribute  pays."

Of  Offwell,  Lng. 


Upham  Genealogy. 


495 


In  1797,  John  Ford  Upham  was  Lieutenant,  Sidbury  Volunteers. 
His  name  is  mentioned  on  some  presentation  colours  given  by  his 
relatives.  The  flag  which  is  in  good  preservation  is  of  yellow  silk 
and  on  the  one  side  beneath  the  Royal  Arms,  is  the  inscription: — 
Presented  by  J.  P.  Manley,  Esq.  &  W"  Guppy,  Esq.  1797,  Lords 
of  the  manor  of  Sidbury,  Devon."  On  the  reverse  side  the  in- 
scription runs :  "  John  Pearse  Manley,  Capt.  Commandant,  Lieut* 
Upham,  Lieut  Guppy,  Artillery  Capt  Robert  Manley.  Sidbury 
Volunteers."  Of  his  second  wife — Elizabeth  (Welman)  little  is 
known  except  that  his  marital  relations  with  her  were  not  marked 
by  the  same  comfort  and  felicity  that  he  enjoyed  with  his  first  wife 
Honor.  It  was  said,  though  it  is  hoped  without  foundation,  that 
she  used  to  grease  the  house  steps  on  the  chance  of  her  husband 
falling  and  breaking  his  neck  upon  them.  She  was  not  popular 
ip  the  neighborhood,  and  on  J.  F.  Uphams  death  it  is  believed 
she  returned  to  her  own  people.  He  was  Captain  of  the  Sidbury 
Volunteers  in  1804,  and  the  portrait  given,  executed  in  the  Octo- 
ber of  that  year,  by  his  artist  son,  M'  John  W.  Upham,  represents 
him  in  the  quaint  uniform  of  his  regiment.  He  was  fondof  hunt- 
ing and  frequently  out  with  the  hounds,  kept  by  his  brother-in-law 
John  Guppy  of  Roncombe.  Old  letters  also  show  that  it  was  his 
custom  to  make  frequent  journeys  with  one  of  his  daughters  upon 
the  saddle  with  him  —  to  call  upon  the  old  folks  at  Bicton. 

His  Will  dated  8""  March  1814  was  proved  in  the  Archdeaconry 
Court,  Exeter,  18""  May  1820,  by  John  Pidgeon,  gent.,  one  of  the 
executors.  He  left  the  house  at  Offwell  with  the  orchards,  fields 
and  pasture  belonging  thereto,  the  lands  in  the  occupation  of 
Henry  Hodge  as  his  tenant,  and  all  other  his  lands  of  inheritance 
wheresoever  situated.  In  trust  to  John  Pidgeon  of  Honiton,  gent, 
and  Henry  Hodge  of  Offwell,  Yeoman,  to  sell  and  dispose  of  the 
same,  and  after  deducting  expenses  pay  the  residue  in  equal  shares 
to  his  sons  J.  W.  Upham,  and  Jonas  Upham,  and  his  daughter 
Mary  Upham.  Appoints  John  Pidgeon  and  Henry  Hodge,  ex- 
ecutors. He  disposed  of  the  Greatwell  estate  in  Ottery  St.  Mary 
during  his  life  subject  to  a  rentcharge  which  expired  on  his  death. 
M""  J.  W.  Upham  was  the  purchaser  of  the  remains  of  the  Offwell 
property  which  comprised  the  house,  two  orchards  and  the  old 
Park  with  other  lands  in  Offwell. 

By  Honor  his  i"  wife  he  had:  — 

I  John  William  Upham,  landscape  painter  in  water- 
colour,  born  at  Offwell  Jany  21"  1773.  He  early 
exhibited  a  talent  for  art,  as  in  a  somewhat  less 
degree  did  most  of  his  brothers  and  sisters,  who

UPHAM   GeN£ALOOV. 

survived  infancy.  While  still  young  he  became 
warmly  attached  to  a  Miss  Anne  Rrnell,  the  eldest 
daughter  of  an  Exeter  attorney,  a  member  of  one  of 
the  oldest  and  most  famous  Devonshire  families;  but 
owing  partly  to  the  defective  postal  facilities  of  the 
period,  the  afTair  came  to  an  early  termination.  For 
on  one  occasion  he  sent  his  next  brother,  Jonas,  who 
happened  to  have  business  in  that  direction,  with  a 
letter  to  Miss  Renell  who  found  the  messenger  more 
delightful  than  the  message.  It  may  be  that  like 
Pricilla  the  Puritan  maiden,  who  when  in  a  similar 
predicament  said  "Why  don't  you  speak  for  your- 
self John  "  she  gave  the  messenger  some  encourage- 
ment, at  all  events  she  placed  her  affections  with 
Jonas,  and  ultimately  married  him  instead  of  M'  J. 
W.  Upham.  The  latter  felt  the  disappointment 
keenly,  and  though  he  came  in  time  to  forgive  his 
brother,  he  did  not  forget  the  injury  and  never  mar- 
ried. Soon  after  this  frustration  of  his  hopes  he 
left  home  and  travelled  on  the  continent,  practising 
his  art  the  while.  Returning  he  settled  at  Wey- 
mouth, Dorset,  as  an  artist,  and  idt.'ntified  himself 
with  every  undertaking  for  the  bea^iit  of  the  youth 
of  the  locality,  notably  the  Weymouth  and  Malcombe 
Regis  National  and  Church  Sunday  Schools,  among 
the  founders  of  which  institution  he  was  most  prom- 
inent. His  Majesty  King  George  III  with  his  con- 
sort and  family  having  visited  Weymouth  for  the 
first  time  in  1789  being  greatly  pleased  with  the 
place  ultimately  made  it  his  marine  residence,  and 
M'  J.  W.  Upham  was  appointed  Professor  of  Draw- 
ing and  painting  to  H.  R.  H.  the  Princess  Augusta. 
Some  of  M'  Uphams  larger  pictures  published  in 
1801  were  dedicated,  by  permission,  to  his  Royal 
pupil.  In  1804,  M'  Upham  was  engaged  in  com- 
pany with  Prout,  Varley  and  other  artists  in  illus- 
trating the  "  Beauties  of  England  and  "  Wales  "  (an 
important  work  published  in  about  20  vols  8  vo  by 
Vernor  &  Hood  &  others  Lond.  1801-1818.  In 
the  Introduction  to  the  same  work  by  I.  Norris 
Brewer,  F.  V.  A.,  Lond.  18 18.  Preface  p.  xxxiv  M'

literary  and  local  information   for  the  county  of

Dorset.     A  water-colour  portrait  of  H.  R.  H.  the 

Princess  Augusta,  and  another  of  H.  R.  H.  with  a 
brother  at  her  side,  both  by  M'  Upham  are  in  the 
possession  of  the  present  representative  of  this  Une. 
Some  subjects  in  sepia  after  Gainsborough,  dedicated 
to  all  his  pupils  were  published  in  181 1.  He  pub- 
lished many  views  of  Weymouth,  and  he  depicted 
the  mountain  scenery  of  North  Wales  and  Switzer- 
land, also  choice  parts  of  Devon  and  Cornwall,  the 
Channel  Islands,  France,  Belgium  and  Holland. 
He  died  after  a  lingering  illness  on  Jany  5""  i8a8. 
For  a  just  estimate  of  his  character  and  life  we 
cannot  do  better  than  give  the  remarks  of  the  county 
paper  on  the  event:  — 

'  Died  on  the  5"*  inst.,  universally  and  deeply 
lamented,  M'  J.  W.  Upham,  many  years  resident 
professor  of  drawing  and  painting  in  this  town  (Wey- 
mouth) Endeared  as  he  was  to  all  classes  by  the 
urbanity  and  kindness  of  his  manner,  his  death  has 
caused  a  blank  in  society  that  will  be  long  and  sor- 
rowfully felt.  The  excellency  of  his  character  is 
more  fully  shown  than  words  can  express  by  the 
intense  interest  and  heartfelt  sorrow  his  death  has 
excited  among  almost  every  inhabitant  of  this  place. 
But  the  loss  of  this  worthy  man  will  be  also  most 
severely  felt  by  an  Institution  that  we  may  almost 
say  was  founded  by  him  —  certainly  to  his  talent 
constant  and  unwearied  care  and  attention  the  Wey- 
mouth National  School  is  most  essentially  indebted 
for  that  pre-eminent  situation  in  which  it  stands, 
for  moral  and  religious  improvement.  The  whole 
tenor  of  his  life  appeared  grounded  on  the  princi- 
ples of  rectitude  and  truth,  and  the  great  resignation 
to  the  will  of  God  during  his  protracted  illness 
showed  how  firmly  he  trusted  in  the  mercies  and 
promises  of  his  Redeemer  —  and  the  calmness  and 
serenity  with  which  he  departed  this  life  (for  he 
died  without  a  groan,  a  struggle  or  a  sigh)  lead  us 
to  hope  "  his  trust  is  not  in  vain  in  the  Lord." — 
Dorset  County  Chronicle  Jany  10"*  1828. 

His  Will  dated  3**  July  1824,  was  proved  in  the 
Principal  Registry  Som.  Hse.  London  March  1828. 
He  bequeaths  all  his  effects  whatsoever  to  Matthew

Virtue,  of  Melcombe,  Re(;is,  musician,  and  Benjamin 
Barlow  of  the  same,  wine  merchant.  Upon  trust 
that  after  jiayment  of  i-xpcnses  his  effects  be  divided 
into  eleven  equal  parts.  He  gives  four  of  such 
parts  to  his  brother  Jonas  Upham,  two  to  sister 
Anna  Stone  (this  not  because  he  has  less  regard  for 
her  but  as  his  father  made  better  provision  for  her 
in  his  lifetime  than  he  did  for  Jonas)  Residue  to 
sister  Mary  wife  of  Major  Saml  Fox  H.  M.  30"' 
Reg'  for  her  separate  use  for  life,  after  to  her  son 
Charles  Fox.  If  the  latter  die  leaving  no  issue  the 
said  effects  to  go  to  any  of  other  children  of  Mary 
Fox,  who  may  be  living,  if  none,  then  to  Jonas 
Upham  if  living,  if  not  to  his  son  John  William 
Upham  and  sisters.  An  annuity  to  sister  Susan 
Tancock.  Witnesses: —  John  Luckham,  Thomas 
Coombs  Hawkins,  Henry  Read  Ryall  Groves.  He 
made  a  codicil  15"*  Dec  1827  in  favour  of  Mary 
Louisa  Fox  and  Amelia  Rose,  leaving  ;^ioo  to  the 
latter  to  be  expended  in  giving  her  a  fit  education

Jonas  Guppy,  Esq.,  of  Sidbury  Castle.  Married  by  licence  dated 
Nov.  7"*,  1801,  to  Ann,  eldest  child  of  William  Renell*  of  Exeter, 
attorney-at-law,  by  Mary  (Nichols)  his  wife.  M"  Anne  Upham 
born  Oct.  19"*,  1768,  died  Feb.  13"',  1847.  Jonas  Upham  was  to 
have  entered  the  church  but  paternal  losses  prevented  his  going 

*  William  Renell  was  one  of  thirteen  sons  of  Richard  Reyneil  or  Renell 
a  Levantine  merchant  of  Exeter,  by  Ann  (Foe)  his  wife.  "  The  first  of  this 
family  on  record:  Sir  Richard  Reyneil  of  Pytlney  Co.  Somerset,  flourished 
in  the  reigns  of  Henry  II  and  Richard  I,  anil  during  the  absence  of  the  lat- 
ter in  the  Holy  Land,  had  the  custody  of  the  castles  of  Exeter  and  Launces- 
tondelivcied  to  him  1191.  These  castles  he  stoutly  defended  against  John, 
Earl  of  Moreton,  the  King's  brother,  who  in  the  monarch's  absence  endeav- 
oured to  usurp  the  sovereign  power.  On  the  death  of  Richard,  and  the 
accession  of  John,  the  latter  remembering  the  par'  which  this  Sir  Richard 
Reyneil  had  taken  against  him,  deprived  him  of  his  estates  at  Pyttney. 
This  Sir  Richd.  Reyneil  was  sherilF  of  Devon  1191-1194.  His  son  Sir 
Richard  Reyneil  had  his  father's  lands  restored  to  him  by  King  John,  on 
condition  that  he  should  serve  him  with  one  horse  and  armour  for  one  year, 
as  appears  by  his  deed  datid  at  Bined.  27'!' July  1214,  a  copy  of  which  is  in 
the  Harleian  M.  S  S.  No  1195.  A  great  grandson  of  this  gentleman  Sir 
Hugh  Reyneil  Kt.,  was  (irand  Master  and  Governor  of  the  Knights  of  St. 
John  of  Jerusalem  in  1275.  There  is  a  small  harbour  in  Malta  still  called 
by  his  name  (Renellc).  The  inheritance  of  the  Reynells  says  Prince  "has 
decreased  by  their  long  following  the  French  Wars  and  their  liberality  to 
their  retinue  and  soldiers  exhausted  a  great  part  viz:  the  lands  which  came 
by  Alan  de  Fran9ois."  Several  branches  still  exist  though  their  numerous 
and  vast  possessions  in  the  counties  of  Cambridge,  York,  Warwick,  Som- 
erset, Devon  and  Cornwall  have  passed  with  heiresses  into  other  families  or 
been  otherwise  alienated,"  (Hurke's  Hist.  Com.)  The  last  male  in  the 
elder  line  of  this  ancient  family: — Lieut.  Gen.  Sir  Thomas  Reyneil,  Bart, 
K.  C.  B.  was  wounded  at  Waterloo,  in  command  of  the  7i»t  Highland 
Light  Infantry  and  inniiediately  after  the  battle  was  decorated  with  the  in- 
signia of  a  Knight  of  the  Austrian  Older  of  Maria  Theresa  and  of  the  order 
of  St.  George,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  Duke  of  Wellington.  Sir 
Thomas  married  12"'  Feb.  1831,  Lady  Elizabeth  Pack,  daughter  of  George, 
I"'  Marquis  of  Watcrford,  and  widov.-of  M.'.jor  (Jen  Sir  Denis  Pack,  K.  C.  B. 
Sir  Thomas  Reyneil  diec'.  without  issue  at  his  seat  Avisford  near  Arundel, 
on  Feb.  10"',  1848,  and  the  Baronetcy,  one  distinguished  from  its  creation 
by  lawyers,  statesmen,  and  warriors,  became  extinct.

to  Oxford,  as  was  originally  intended.  Soon  after  going  to  Bris- 
tol he  joined  Mess"  Lucas  Bros.,  shipbuilders.  Canons  Marsh,  and 
eventually  took  an  active  part  in  the  management  of  the  business 
until  his  decease.  He  enjoyed  excellent  health,  and  scarcely  had 
a  days  illness  in  his  life,  so  that  it  was  a  great  siiock  to  his  family 
when  one  day  he  was  conveyed  home  from  the  office  unconscious 
from  an  apoplectic  seizure,  from  which  he  only  recovered  con- 
sciousness at  the  last  to  wish  his  affectionate  and  sorrowing  rela- 
tives farewell,  passing  peacefully  away  on  the  5""  Dec.  1838.  He 
was  a  man  of  something  over  six  feet  in  height,  and  proportion- 
ately well  developed,  with  fair  hair,  noble  forehead,  blue  grey  eyes 
and  acquiline  nose.  The  portrait  given  is  taken  from  an  oil 
painting  by  James  Curnock,  a  portrait  painter  of  some  note,  and 
a  friend  of  M'  Upham's.  He  had  mental  qualities  of  a  high  order, 
and  had  it  not  been  for  a  love  of  quiet  retirement  (too  character- 
istic of  many  of  his  family)  he  might  have  achieved  greater  success 
and  would  not  have  relied  upon  expectations  of  large  inheritance 
destined  never  to  be  fulfilled.  However  he  was  widely  respected 
and  beloved,  and  departed  with  a  cheerful  hope  of  a  future  life. 
His  deeply  religious  nature,  almost  Puritan  in  severity,  with  a 
firmly  rooted  hatred  of  all  show  and  ostentation,  was  combined 
with  great  cheerfulness  and  love  of  fun,  which  made  him  a  favor- 
ite with  children,  and  in  his  youth  gained  him  the  nickname  of 
"Mirth."  He  possessed  great  tact,  and  capability  of  calm  and 
judicious  judgment,  and  it  is  said  the  influence  of  his  kindly  nature 
was  such  that  there  was  no  possibility  of  quarreling  in  his  pres- 
ence. He  was  for  about  30  years,  deacon  in  the  congregational 
church,  and  his  wife  deaconess,  and  the  minister's  right  hand  in 
all  good  works.  They  lie  buried  together  with  all  their  children 
in  the  family  vault,  Brunswick  Square  Cemetery,  Bristol.  Jonas 
Upham  and  Ann  his  wife  had: 
16  I  John  William  of  Carleton  House,  Bristol.

16.  John    William"    Upham   (Jonas'",    John    F.',   John', 
Richard',  Thomas',  Richard',  Thomas*,  Richard',  John',  Richard'), 
of  Carlton  House,  Bristol — born  at  Bristol,  Dec  27"'  1802,  secre- 
tary and  librarian  of  the   Bristol  Institution  for  the  Advancement 
of  Science  Literature  and  the  Arts.     He  was  named  John  William 
after  M""  J.  VV.  Upham  of  Wyke  Regis,   Dorset,  artist,  his  paternal 
uncle,   and  was  educated  with  the  expectation  of  entering  the 
counting  house  of  his  maternal  uncle  M'  Robert  Prudom  Renell, 
head  of  the  then  well  known  firm  of  R.  P.  Renell  &  Co.  English 
and  foreign  merchants,  12  Mark  Lane  London,  and  at  Gibraltar, 
Barcelona,  Lisbon  and  Baltimore,  U.  S.  A.     This  did  not  meet 
the  views  of  a  younger  brother  M' W.  Trehawke  Renell,  (a  polished 
linguist  but  lacking  business  aptitude)  who,  during  the  illness  of 
his  brother,  had  managed  two  of  the  foreign  branches  so  that  they 
had  to  be  closed — one  after  the  other —  at  a  loss,  causing  his 
retirement  from  the  firm.     So  he  contrived  to  postpone  indefinitely 
his  nephew  Upham's  entry  into  the  business.     However,  M'  R.  P. 
Renell  having  amassed  an  ample  fortune  made  his  nephew  J.  W. 
Upham  his  heir,  and  by  will  provided  also  for  his  sisters.     Mean- 
while M'  Upham  became  secretary  and  librarian  of  the   Bristol 
Literary  Scientific  and  Philosophical   Inst,  intending  it  as  a  tem- 
porary occupation.     Upon  the  death,  in   1836,  of  M*"  Robert  P. 
Renell,  it  was  found  that  the  will  had  been  obtained  by  bribery 
from  the  clerk  at  the  office  and  suppressed.     M"  Jonas   Upham 
arrived  in  London  to  find  her  brother's  body  unattended  to,  while 
the  house  vas  being  ransacked  of  plate  and  all  available  valuables. 
It  was  represented  that  affairs  were  in   confusion,  and  that  there 
was  little  or  nothing  for  anybody.      The  Uphams  not  caring

to  enter  upon  a  costly  lawsuit,  took  no  action  in  the  matter.  The 
misguided  individual  who  seized  upon  everything,  did  not  live 
long  to  enjoy  his  ill  gotten  gains,  for  the  clerk  who  gave  up  the 
will,  mentioned  the  facts  to  a  friend,  and  the  latter  used  the  in- 
formation to  extort  money,  under  threat  of  exposure  to  the  Up- 
hams,  demanding  larger  and  larger  sums,  until  one  day  the  said 
individual,  aftr .  paying  a  demand  for  _;^2ooo,  distracted  lest  he 
should  soon  be  nable  to  meet  his  business  engagements,  died  by 
his  own  hand.  M'  Upham's  prospects  of  Renell  property  having 
thus  dissolved,  he  settled  down  at  the  beforementioned  Lit.  Sci. 
&  Philos.  Instit.  and  continued  secretary  librarian  and  general 
manager  there  for  upwards  of  forty  years,  a  great  part  of  the 
time  doing  the  work  of  curator,  for  as  the  old  shareholders  and 
friends  of  the  Institution  dropped  off  there  was  no  strife  among 
the  citizens  to  supply  their  places,  consequently  the  Institution 
got  poorer,  and  rigid  economy  had  to  be  exercised  all  round. 
Thus  the  willing  horse  was  worked  to  death. 

He  scarcely  took  a  day's  holiday  all  the  years  he  was  at  the 
Institution,  and  had  he  yielded  to  the  solicitations  of  friends  (who 
perceived  his  health  failing)  and  taken  rest  and  change,  his  life 
might  have  been  prolonged  for  many  years.  In  1862,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Institution  feeling  compelled  to  recognize  M'  Upham's 
long  and  devoted  services  in  a  becoming  manner,  presented  him 
with  a  purse  and  a  richly  chased  salver  inscribed: 

Presented 

with  the  sum  of  one  hundred  guineas 

by  the  members  of  the  Bristol  Institution  for  the 

Advancement  of  Science,  Literature  and  the  Arts 

to  M'  J""  W"  Upham  as 

a  Testimonial  of  the  respect  and  regard 

entertained  by  the  Society  for  his  faithful  services 

to  the  Institution 

during  a  period  of  thirty  nine  years 

February  1863. 

He  remained  at  the  head  of  the  Institution  until,  early  in  1866, 
failing  health  compelled  him  to  resign.  The  loss  of  his  eldest 
sister  Mary,  who  died  on  the  s'**  June  1866,  was  a  great  shock  to 
him,  for  he  was  devotedly  fond  of  her.  This  hastened  his  death, 
which  occurred  on  the  23"'''  of  the  same  month.  He  was  a  man 
of  medium  height,  with  clear  cut  features  and  brown  curly  hair. 
In  early  youth  he  developed  a  taste  for  art  and  studied  under  the 
artist  W"  MUller.  He  chiefly  painted  in  oils,  and  sea  pictures 
with  shipping  were  his  favorite  subjects,  though  later  in  life  he

took  up  portraiture,  and  in  this  favoured  the  Dutch  school.  He 
possessed  great  mechanical  talent,  and  spent  many  spare  hours 
for  some  years  repairing  a  fine  model  of  a  British  war  ship  the 
"  Melampus,"  which  he  had  purchased  inadelapidated  condition. 
The  model  had  originally  been  built  by  some  French  prisoners 
of  war.  It  was  built  to  scale  in  every  detail  and  each  man  had 
his  own  special  work  on  it.  His  varied  talents  and  generous, 
kindly  nature  endeared  him  to  a  large  circle  of  friends,  and  the 
frequency  with  which  he  was  required  to  act  as  trustee  bore  evi- 
dence to  the  solidity  and  uprightness  of  his  character.  He  mar- 
ried at  St.  Paul's  Ch.  Portland  Square,  Bristol  April  i5"»  1841, 
Mercy,  only  child  of  James  Pearce,  or  Pierce,  by  Mary  his  wife, 
only  daughter  of  William  Williams,  Esq.  of  Velindre,  Brecon  N. 
Wales.  (Mercy  Upham  b.  March  12*''  1812.  d.  July  7**'  184a,) 
by  whom  he  had  issue: 

Mary  Anne  Renell  Upham,  born  January  22"*  184a, 
married  at  Victoria  Wesleyan  Church,  Clifton.  Sept 
4'"  1866,  William  Withers  Jones,  M.  P.  S.  (Lond 
■853).  (b.  Aug  19*""  1830.  d.  May  5*"  1892,)  elder 
son  of  Richard  Jones  Esq  of  Rhyston,  Co.  Salop, 
by  his  wife  Anne  Withers,  only  daughter  of  Lieut. 
Richard  Edwards,  of  H.  M.  7'"  West  India  Regt., 
and  niece  of  Lieut  Col.  John  Edwards,  of  H.  M. 
80"'  Regt. 
They  had  issue: 

1.  William  Upham,  b.  Dec  30"'  1867.     He  was  until 

recently  a  medical  student  in  Bristol,  but  is 
now  in  the  United  States,  where  he  arrived, 
September  18"'  1892.  He  is  a  student  of 
architecture  at  the  school  of  the  Art  Institute 
at  Chicago,  111.  By  legal  process,  he  has  taken 
the  surname  of  Reynell-Upham  in  lieu  of  that 
of  Jones  for  the  reasons :  First,  that  represent- 
ing a  branch  of  those  families  it  seemed  fit  that 
his  name  should  indicate  the  fact.  Second, 
that  "  the  honorable  and  honored  name  of  Jones 
(as  a  barrister  once  said)  is  so  undistinguishable 
by  reason  of  its  multitudinousness."  He  was 
the  compiler  of  the  English  supplement  to  this 
genealogy. 

2.  Florence  Ellen,  b.  June  13"'  1869. 

3.  Gertrude  Emily  Clara,  b.  Oct  26'^''  1874. 

Note.— The  fotlowing  mention  of  the  Gutter  family  should  have  appeared  with  the  will 
of  John  Uppom,  1581,  and  should  be  read  as  if  appended  thereto,  viz.:  Richard  Gutter 
admtd.  39  April,  159a.  Sir  Richard  Gutter,  clerl:  buried  30,  Oct.  1601.  (Ec'cl,  Antiq.
